Okay so I waited till after I finished binge watching the entire Sharpie series to post my thoughts. In short, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! From the first basic video to this very last one, my mind was blown away. Not only at the creativity but also at how simple it is to get great looking art with sharpie markers. I've always had an affinity towards permanent markers since elementary school and now, since I've started making tattoo designs again, I've been using them a lot more. In fact, it was curiosity on how to make coloring in my art look better than 'flat' with my markers that lead me to you. I'm going to take a look around the rest of your channel for more ideas and techniques as well as your site. I also have a few purchases to make, I need to up my color arsenal ten-fold now. Luckily you posted links to the paper and both sets of markers. I have them saved on a list for my next paycheck. The kids where I work are going to go nuts when I show them how to level up their coloring skills. One of the best series I've ever had the pleasure of watching and I love the Intro theme as well, it kept inspiring me to make a full orchestral track with it. Tell your son, he's a genius as well. Keep up the amazing content, CHEERS!!!

HI Jennifer, I have just spent the afternoon watching all 7 parts of this series and thoroughly enjoyed them once again. Renewed the old 75 y.o. memory!!! Got to go and try these secrets out now!!!!

I never comment on videos, but had to tell you how cool this was! I never knew I could do so many things with sharpies. Thanks for all the info!

I was ready to throw my Sharpies in the trash can, because they chewed up whatever paper I used them on. Then tonight I found this video! My Sharpies are rescued! This looks like fun!! Thanks! I’m going to try it first on the Flower Bliss book I have, in mixed media paper. I am a new adult colorer, and I have learned so much from your videos. I use coloring to deal with chronic pain and anxiety. It has really helped me to cope. So, thank you Jennifer and Steve!

This technique blew my mind .. it is 1am, i have small pack of sharpies and no rubbing alcohol.... how will i sleep now .. lol ...

Tha k you for getting to the point..I am had been searching for some ideas with my markers..I hsve been coloring for a while with sharpie and gel and needed some ideas....all my pages kind of look the same because I use the same old basic technique. Anyway most videos have not given me any inspiration...lots of talking and not a lot of coloring...and the ideas are not shown from start to finish...lots of cuts which make me wonder what they did to get the effect...you show everything start to finish and you don't talk for 20 minutes with useless info wasting my time, you fo straight into the coloring and your explaining is very clear and answer all the questions in my head as you go .so I subscribed here and look forward to watching your other videos. Other KZfaq people making coloring videos need to take some tips from you..thank you for inspiring me to get the coloring books out..that's just what I needed.

This would be really great for anyone who likes watercolor effects if they don't have watercolor paint but have a stash of Sharpies. I'm going to try it soon and the really great thing is I don't have to go out and buy anything! Yay! Love the Sharpie Secrets series. I'll be trying all these techniques. Thank you, Jennifer!

I didn't know you can use that kind of blending technique for Sharpie 😯 thank you for sharing :)

I absolutely LOVE Baylee💗

Loved the sharpie series. I fill a water pen with alcohol instead of a cup and paintbrush, works great. Thank you for sharing this awesome idea. I have to say...I did have to try it with a plate and cup just to get to color on a plate. FUN STUFF!!!!!

I have really, really loved this video series! Thank you so much. ❤

I'm so happy to learn how to use my Sharpies more often.

Thanks so much for sharing this series! I had no idea Sharpies were so versatile. Now I can't wait to start painting with my Sharpie markers :)

Superb video! So much rubbish on KZfaq, refreshing to find great information put concisely and clearly. I have learned so much that is REALLY useful - just dashed off to lay my tub of Sharpies on it’s side! Heading for your website now.

Love it, love it love it. Way cool!

I often see/hear things- like standing in a crowd trying to see someone on a stage- someone gently holds my shoulders & moves me a Tiny bit to one side & VOILA! Perspective Change!! This series has done that for me on many levels- THANK YOU!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

So glad I saw this because really was trying to figure out how to paint with alcohol markers and use rubbing alcohol & new colors and can’t wait to try it out!!

Wow!!! This looks like a watercolor paint and lays down so nice..great ideas again!!!! Thank you.

Sharpies on glossy photo paper are fantastic!

I love watching Baylee Jay and I love her vlog channel. I learn so much from all the artists on KZfaq. Especially you!

I have used sharpies over the years and learned a lot new techniques. Would not have guessed using rubbing alcohol as a technique, such a game changer. Thank you :)

Wow. I have practically all of these highlighters and markers. I am so going to play with them. This is a good one.

*Wow, Good for everyone, especially people who specialize in painting!*

this has been a great series - very inspiring!, thanks for doing it!!

Wow! I have thoroughly enjoyed all 7 parts of your Sharpie Colouring Secrets. Thank you so much for sharing.

I think this technic would word well on parchment paper. Could include embossing. Need to play. Thank you Jenifer x

this series were amazingggggggggggg i love it thank you so much

Just accidentally bumped into it channlr.just watched all 7 of us sharpie secret loved it x

Jennifer, I just viewed all 7 lessons and happily had the same 2 sets of Sharpie markers so I could match your ideas. I also have a 10 pack of Crayola markers so I tried lesson 6 with them also. Sometimes my color blends more to one side so coloring then appears two-tone, kind of cool. Thank you for making these videos so we can learn techniques. Grandma @ 70 years young.

Watched them all and just wow. I knew of all the techniques but the painting one.

Looks like fun to do.

It's like an asmr video, so relaxing

Love this series and I really appreciate you making this into a series rather than one longer video. I love that I can go right to the technique I want. Many many thanks for all the time you put into these videos!

What a great idea

I have enjoyed this series so much! I love that marker sound when you push them off the book. I also love wrappers crinkling. I'm weird. Looks like that brush would do an awesome stippling effect with these Like the end of the black petal.

Watching favorite color watching people coming from

So Cool! I had already tried the painting with my water based markers, but this is awesome! Now I can try this with my all markers. Thanks for sharing your tip! Hugs, Judy

Thanks so much for this series it has been very helpful for a newbie.

I akso binge watched this whole series and enjoyed so much! Please make playlists of all the sharpies videos, and likewuse for other topics such as all the gel pen, pencil, brands, storage or organizing tips. I joined last year but just getting into watching, so starting with oldest and sometimes watching a batch on specific items. I end up mixing my sharpies with my gel pens, and starting to add in pencil.

Thanks for the tutorial, I love Sharpies too, I'll use the techniques you just share.

I loved this whole series. Thanks for sharing 🤗

i color on fabic with sharpie you heat set then wash have done a lot of quilt blocks love sharpies would like all the old color back need skin colors

I wish they would sell more sharpies over here! Love from Japan!

I never knew you could paint with sharpies, but now I know.

Fabulous Series. LOVE my Sharpies. Thank you. GodSpeed.

So much fun!

Thanks, Jennifer your series have been very helpful. Keep the good ideas coming.

Uba Awesome Thanks. I totally Love my Sharpie and Bic markers. Thank you

Thanks for an enjoyable series. I always learn so much from your videos. I have a new appreciation for my Sharpies and they are now front and center on my craft table.

I have one of those tiny glass bowls from the dollar tree and used a nail file to make the bottom of the glass not as smooth so the marker worked a little better

i watch baylee jae. too, baylee does liveon twitch every tuesday night, tthis sharpie paint tech is also used on your nails as nail too.haven't tried yet stilllearn nail art stamping

Just a quick note. The higher percentage alcohol would be better to get only for the fact that it would have less water in it. The other 30 percent in the 70 percent ipa will remain in your sharpie and keep collecting as you go. Im not sure if water in your sharpie will damage it but it will make your ink dry much slower if you get enough in it? If you can get a bottle of everclear, or another high proof alcohol for this purpose, it will dramatically decrease the retention of water in your marker as everclear has only a 1 to maybe 4 percent water content depending on if it has been sitting around open or not. If youre feeling brave there are other solvents you could try as well. Be careful with the chosen solvent. Some are very nasty and dangerous to breath in like benzene and could potentially ruin the marker if it breaks the ink down or the nib. Trying new things is a staple in art though so have fun whatever you do!

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial.

That's really neat so fun thanks for these tutorials on the sharpies :)

Thanks for sharing these videos! Seeing them gave me a few ideas to work with!

Really glad I found this video gonna use this idea for a drawing I did

Fantastic. Thanks sooo much!

So much information! I'm new to coloring and I want to find out the tools that are available at a reasonable cost. I think this series helped me decide that Sharpies will be my next step. Thanks for sharing Sharpie secrets and techniques!!

❤️ this!

Just finished this series, Loooove it

Recently came across your channel and have to say its been delightful with so much insightful information. Truly enjoying it, Thanks so much.

Wow this is awesome!

Use Plain alcohol First for White Areas, Then Color

Great Series Jennifer. Learned Alot 😁

Wow, this is really amazing, i guess it can also be done with other alcohol Markers (like copics, but than cheap ones😉🤭)

I really enjoy your videos. I'm looking forward to using sharpies in my coloring. You are such a giving person. I enjoy my premium membership.

I enjoyed this series!

I just love your videos, thank you. I really do like my sharpies best for good, solid, clean coverage in my coloring. If I had it my way, they would have a huge selection of colors and loads of pastel (lighter) shades.

I've sooo loved this series. Thank you. This has given me the idea of adding the alcohol into an aquash brush. (I can't use small paintbrushes, like you they hurt 😔). I thought I had heard you say in one of the past sharpie videos you would show how to store all your markers? I'm just trying to organise all my markers and pens and pencils and love to see what other people do. Thanks again for the series. ❤🇦🇺 ***love BayJay too***

Thankyou so much! I wanted to customize my shoes but leatherpaint is so much more expensive so knowing I can do this with sharpies, im going to customize it using sharpies😊

great technique! give your son a hug for me!,

Muchas gracias!

Cool👍

oh yeah insteadof using a dish to pick upthe sharpie paint use a zip-lock bag, that way you don't need toworry about messesor stainsyou can throw the bag away when you can't use it anymore

Love the videos

Love the vid!

Same as making alcohol ink. Lol. I make with the markers and the alcohol. But it does recamend 91 alcohol.

Will this work on regular paper?

In Thailand our isopropanol is BLUE! Can that be used for this?

I love yur videos, I had to subscribe!

Hola se pueden utilizar en vidrio?????

you can do this w/dirt cheap vodka, too, btw, or tomboys and water

Thank you for the 7 series. It was very interesting. I wonder if it's possible to use the same techniques with other makes of markers that are not alcohol based.

Can you use OIL Base Sharpie on T-Shirts?

Do you believe the ultra thin sharpies are better than the fatter ones?

does it bleed through the paper this way?

Can you do this with other brand markers?

I have water based pens. Can i do the same but use water instead of alcohole?

nice///

F'ing AWESOME!!! (sorry for the expletive, but you deserve it. lol)

Is that a skin toned sharpie?? Also, is there a white sharpie?

It's a shame Sharpies, Bics (and likely other alcohol-based markers, including the much-coveted Copics) are not archival and lightfast. They fade and discolor. Google it. It broke my heart to learn it! If you're using them for your art, be prepared to scan your pieces and have prints made if you want them to last.

I think I will throw away my water colour pencils

zhc but without poscas😂😂😃🤣
