You are a genius with the sharpie highlighter. I will be using it from now on. I'm new to art and I need all the I help I can get.Thanks from the newbie.
ZColoring Pages Bliss
Coloring Pages Bliss i love the idea of using the highlighters, now back to the store to pick up some.
Sharpie highlighters
+Larice Penyak, lol...I love that I gave you a new art tool to go buy! So much fun!!
Can we just talk about how she’s making perfect circles effortlessly 😂😂
muscle memory takes practice...
She drew them first you can see the pencil lol
I noticed that when she was doing it as well, she is really an amazing artist and I live with an artist. They draw with such ease, I am jealous..
Sharpie Highlighters will be my base layer of choice from this day forward thanks to your secret weapon video. It is an eye opener for colorists of all ages. It is so generous of you to offer a "give-a-way to your viewers. This video was a true learning experience. Thank you.
Dolores, thanks for such kind comments! Have fun coloring 💚
I like your program very much as I am new to pencil colouring and your organization of materials and especially your lesson plan ( main points) set out so your audience can see them, is very, very helpful. I should say I am a retired teacher so I felt you deserved to hear that your classes are excellent! And, you do not say "you guys" every two minutes! So many demonstrators on CZcams do! Kudos to you from Toronto, Canada!
I see the benefit of the undercoat with the highlighter , however, sometimes having the white show is exactly what you want. It is great to have another option. Thanks.
Yeah, it completely changes the tone. The highlighters don't match the pencil colors she's using. If I want to retain the original color, this trick doesn't help. It's better to lay a foundation of watercolor pencil & blend it out with a damp nib or just use alcohol.
Wow! Using Sharpie Highlighters for a coloring base is the coolest coloring tip I have seen in a while. A great addition to my coloring tool box. Thanks Jennifer.
If you want to get the white parts out when you are using colored pencils you can use hand sanitizer or baby oil with a qtip or sometimes I dip the tip of my pencil in before I start coloring, but you want to use the qtip method if you have want to blend and contrast your colors.
+TheCajunBeauty, yes! There are so many amazing blending methods. I demonstrate a lot of them in my Color Like a Pro series. This video demonstrates using a base layer to eliminate the white. A lot of artists use markers...like comics or other alcohol markers. Some use watercolor paints too! The options are endless...I LOVE ART!!! Thanks for watching my video.
I thought I would mention it here for those who may not want to use the highlighter method. I really like the hand sanitizer the best so far, because the colors are also more vibrant as well as smooth. I think it becomes almost as smooth as markers.
+TheCajunBeauty, I'm not sure if I've every tried hand sanitizer specifically. Is there a brand or type you use? I know hand sanatizer is basically rubbing alcohol...how does it compare to using just rubbing alcohol? So many fun possibilities!
I think mine is an off brand one, but any of them should work the same. I find it to be a little better, because the sanitizer is a little thicker so I find that it is easier to control the amount I use and it is less likely to drip off. I also like that it comes in smaller bottles as well so it is also easier to carry with you if you want to color on the go.
+TheCajunBeauty, ok thanks! I will give it a try. 👍
I absolutely love how the Sharpie Highlighters change up the colors of any other medium you are using. Amazing video. I will certainly start rounding up the highlighter laying around my house.
I like the layering affect with the Sharpie Highlighters. The layering of colors are enhanced because the highlighters are not so dense in color.
Jennifer, I discovered coloring as the perfect secret tool for me to help me sit with both my mom and dad over the last 1 1/2 years during chemo treatment. My daddy always LOVED my crafting antics. His season here on earth ended on Valentines Day this year. As I continue to care for my mama and chemo treatment - I continue to color...off and on. Yesterday our chemo nurse had her coloring out. We enjoyed sharing how much fun it is to color and that we are glad that we finally have an "excuse" as adults to do so! If she is my mom's chemo nurse today, I can't wait to tell her about the Sharpie Highlighters secret trick!!! I will also tell her all about your channel that I just found today! Thanks for all you share - and your beautiful work. I can't wait to watch ALL your videos!! :)
Deanna, thanks for sharing such a sweet comment. I hope you have a colorful day with your mom 💜💜💜💜
Thanks. :)
Call me crazy but... I don't like it. Maybe it's because I like the white in between? It makes it look "organic" if that makes sense. I just don't want to put fluorescent highlighter underneath colored pencil. It sounds like a sin 😬 Neat trick though :)
+Bethany Stocker, lol...I love your "sin" comment. One of the best things about art is the nearly limitless things we can try. We get to like our own things and try anything we want. So much fun!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.
You have the best hilleter color ever😃😃😃

@Crucibelle doesn't mean someone has to like it?
Just a little fyi in case you didn't know but i lost the feed upon first seeing this video so i typed in the words weapon and coloring and found this video surrounded by how to colorb toy guns to look real and other weapon color videos.
While I may not love the results of every technique you may showing in the video. I absolutely love the time and creativity you have and share with the world. Definitely wouldn't have thought of highlighters being used this way, but you have produced some beautiful results. Thank you for your time and energy your spend give well detailed information on the techniques you have in your videos.
+Sweet725, thanks for watching. It is fun to share art ideas...you never know what inspiration may come from someone's ideas.
Jennifer, I am new at coloring . I am a quilter and have some great ideas for using your wonderful tips in a project for my granddaughters. I have some very fond childhood memories of coloring with my sister and cousin on Sunday's at our Grandma's home. So knowing that it's okay to color as an adult has been a great way to relief stress and just calm myself before heading to bed.
I found this video very helpful for improving my painting and coloring. Thank you so much.!!!
really cool. Dede willingham uses acrylic wash for an underlay like this. I have been doing this and I have enjoyed coloring more as it takes away the white page and gives you a color to begin with.
I absolutely Love, Love, Love all the coloring you have done with the sharpie highlighters as your secret coloring weapon!!!
Watercolors and acrylic washes are 2 even better under layers... they both allow you to quickly get a foundation on the page without spending much time... DedeW is a master at this .. of course she is also a very talented artist. I find most of the "professional" coloring book artists like Dede, Peta, Chris Chung etc are amazing artists and they all use advanced artist techniques to achieve pro looking results. Hard for the average non-artist to recreate... but one can always try!
+pesto12601, it can be discouraging to a new colorist when they don't understand why their pages look so different to the more experienced colorists pages. I always appreciate when I find artists who are sharing and teaching their techniques so that we can all learn from them. It is such a gift to the world!
Coloring Pages Bliss
Agree.. I like these particular artists because they approach things in an easy manner... Dede throws paint and other items on a page and though it looks like a mistake... voila - she shows you how that mistake is now something great! Peta shows tecnhiniques that can be applied easily to coloring books to take a ho-hum coloring to a new level.. simply by using proper colors and layering.. something everyone can do.
+pesto12601, so many skills to learn! I love art!!
I have SO many Sharpie Highlighters! From both my daughters' school days, and I can't throw any type of pens away. LOL.. I literally have 2 totes of all kinds of pens! I can't wait to dig out the Sharpie Highlighters and give this a go! Thank you for the opportunity to learn from you and for the entry to the give-away! Good luck everyone!! :)
I am the same way Dawn! I have a huge stash of old school art supplies that I can't throw away that my kids bring home. I found several highlighters there that I already used until the ink ran out!
I love all of your coloring videos and have learned quite a lot from you. I can't wait to try this Sharpie Highlighter trick on my work. It seems to work well for both my colored pencils and gel pens. Gel Pens are my favorite tool to use. Thank you so much for sharing your extraordinary talent!! :-)
Charlotte, thanks for the kind feedback. I love sharing all things I am learning. I love art! 💜
Sharpie highlighter. I loved the presentation. You have saved me so much pain and work. Thank you so much.. I actually feel like I'm making such progress with my shading. You are the best. Thank you again...
+Kornrlia Clee, I am so happy to read this. Thank you so much.
OMG I LOVE ALL YOUR IDEAS. You have brought me back to grade school and that is a long way back 1950’s😘😷. I can’t wait to try this
Brilliant tip using highlighter pens as a base for other media. The SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTERS set looked great. I'm very new to all this and have only used gels up until now. I'm slowly starting to get a selection of different pens/pencils but it's expensive and I just don't have the money to get what I'd like. Your video was so informative and helpful to me, with me being so new to this. I'll defo be coming back regularly for my next fix! Thank you. 👍😁
Thank you so much for sharing your secret weapon with everyone because it really is amazing. The sharpie highlighters truly make the whole coloring experience much more satisfying. Thanks again!!!!!
Sharpie Highlighter!!! What a wonderful idea for coloring!!!!! Thank you so much for all the tutorials that you show.
I finally got to watch all of this video! Very impressed at the lengths you went to share with us how everything plays out with the use of Sharpie Highlighters! Who knew Sharpie Highlighters could yield such beautiful results?! Can't wait to color tonight! Thank you for sharing. :)
SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTER !!!!!! WOW What a great secret. You make such a pretty colorful presentation. Love your coloring.
Very informative. Clear consise directions. Excellent examples! This was a very good lesson! Thank you so much! Very impressed. Great job!
+teresa b, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. 😊
Wowza! The colors just pop! I am a sharpie highlighter fan for life now!
This looks so cool... I would never have thought of using a sharpie highlighter as a base color!!!!
I'm new to coloring, so far my medium is colored pencils but looking to branch out into gel pens and markers , and now highlighters. that is a great tip, thank you!
+Stephanie Ray, so glad you liked it! I have so many more planned. Have fun coloring!
I love using the Sharpie highlighters!! Such a great idea. I had quite a few of these around the house and never even thought to use them until now. Thanks so much!
Sharpie highlighters a hood secret weapon. It's wonderful so you don't have to use so much of your pencil and worry as quickly about burnishing your paper. Good show! Jane
I never thought about using a Sharpie highlighter to color with. I'm anxious to try it!
Even though this tutorial is a year old and your giveaway is over, I learned so much, and will start using the sharpie highlighters as you did... thanks for the work you put into all the charts and comparisons....well done
I had no idea I could use Sharpie Highlighters to get such wonderful color. I am new to coloring and I can't wait to try this. Thanks
Jeannie, have fun coloring! I hope it works great for you 😊
I enjoy all your videos and your tips and techniques are so valuable. Also your instructions are so clear. I am new to coloring and I would never have thought of using highlighters
+BARBARA Estep welcome to the awesome world of coloring!
Coloring Pages Bliss And an awesome adventure it is. Thanks for the welcome
Sharpie Highlighters! Love them as much as I love all Sharpies' range!
Sharpie Highlighters really make a difference in the final look on the coloring pages. As you said, it colors the white and shortens how long it takes to color things.
Thank you for sharing this great idea. This can also keep some mediums from bleeding through the paper as much because of the Sharpie Highlighters base layer. I am looking forward to trying this out! Thanks again for sharing a great idea on how to make more use and expand my other coloring mediums for great looking pictures.
I work with students whom have special needs. We get to color almost everyday as part of the Montessori principles. We are exploring the world of coloring and we love using Sharpie Highlighters in our schooling, can't wait to combine the two different mediums.
+Melissa Schneder, what an awesome program for your students! I wish all schools had the same schedule! Have fun coloring and let me know how it goes.
I never thought of these wonderful Sharpie coloring pens for creating such beautiful options.
I thought I’d give this a try since watching it last night. Only, I used the Sharpie S-Note Creative Markers that closely matched my pencils and WOW!! That really makes your colored pencils pop off the page. I’ve wondered how people get there pencils to look so vivid and this might not be how they do it but it’s how I’m gonna do it!!
That is quite a trick Jennifer. Thanks for sharing your new way to color better by using Sharpie Highlighters. I have a few also from my kids school stash so I am going to go give this a try!!
Wow! More tools for our Arsenal...I almost missed this 5 year old video!😖 Everything old is new again. Thanks
I love using watercolor as a base, you can choose any shade of any color, as well as using acrylic paint.
Love your videos Jennifer they have really helped me in coloring journey and now im working on publishing my own books :)
Sharpie Hightlighters - Oh my Word. This is amazing. You are awesome. I've learned so much about coloring by watching your videos. I absolutely going to try that.

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in the videos. We appreciate it very much. Greetings and blessings from Gauteng South-Africa.
Jodrika, South Africa!! So cool! I love reaching across the world and meeting new people. The Internet is truly amazing.

I love SHARPIE HIGHLITERS. I have been using them for coloring posters, coloring pages that have recently come out. Thank you for the opportunity!
I'm new to Adult coloring these sharpie highlighters would be great to play around with. Thank you for the tip.

Sharpie Highlighters. I love your presentation and will be giving it a try. This is also the first time watching you and love it.. I color for my benefit how many 50 yr olds can say they still have a stash of coloring crayons, pencils, pens, and gels.
Laura, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope to be an 80 year old with a stash of crayons some day 😉
Sharpie Highliters are such a great idea!! I have us them to color on my maps because they are transparent. I have been frustrated recently wanting my colors to "pop". I just started experimenting with combining colored pencils and Sharpie Highlighters and other transparent markers. This idea is perfect!!!!
I love your discovery with SHARPIE HIGHLIGHTERS!!!!
I LOVE MY PRISMACOLOR PENCILS AND MARKERS!!!
Hi Teacher. I started coloring last October and have participated in adult coloring meetups, which us a fun way to share ideas and techniques with others who share the same interests.

Linda...I wonder what else we pass every day that could make a big difference in our coloring!? Have fun!
Congratulations Linda-you won!!! Please contact me here www.coloringpagesbliss.com/contact/ and send me your mailing address. :)
Sharpie Highlighter pens are so cool and I will be using them as my base colour every time. Thank you for your instruction videos, I have learned a lot from you.
All I had was a blue highlighter and a green colored pencil at my desk and tried it on kraft colored sticky note, and it came out to be a teal color that I love. Awesome tip. Going to be investing in more highlighters.
+Rh Ra, that sounds sooooo pretty!
What an ingenious way to use Sharpie Highlighters,and for the person that thought of this idea wow
Talk about being creative with the Sharpie Highlighter and you are so organised, unbelievable. Looking forward to watch your other tutorial on gel pens. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
we have a coloring club at the senior center and this is great never thought sharpie highlighter could be used that way thanks for the info
I am learning so much about coloring with your videos - thank you! I was never happy with colored pencils because of the white peeking thru. So I went straight to markers but now am collecting gel pens and I guess Sharpie Highlighters too! I find coloring so interesting and I have been experimenting with using more than one type of product on a page. Now I can use even more!! . I am old enough that we had art classes until out of elementary school but I never remember being taught any of these things. Thank you again
Allison thanks so much for such kind comments. ❤️
What a great idea incorporating Sharpie Highlighters into your coloring! They all look great and I love the time savings part of it! Thanks for posting your secret weapon!
I have a few sharpie highlighters but never thought to use them with my prismacolorpencils . My hands get tired easy and have a lot of pain , so I cant color long or use a lot of pressure either, so this method should help a lot !! thank you for sharing !
At first, I was pretty skeptical when I heard highlighters, but I became convinced of your genius after seeing you lay down that prismacolor yellow over the highlighter!
+Michelle Herren, I can't wait to hear how it works for you in your coloring. Have fun!
I am going to start using Sharpie Highlighters in my coloring.They do a beautiful job.

I think it's great idea to use Sharpie Highlighters as a base. My hands hurt often and I have a hard time pressing down with colored pencils or gel pens and this will make it more enjoyable to color.
Thanks for showing your secret weapon, the Sharpie Highlighter. It's a great idea, and I'm going to try it with some others that I have here. Great idea. Thanks.

I can hardly wait to find my Sharpie Highlighters so I can implement this secret weapon in my coloring. Thanks for your video.
Thank you sharing this technique. I am definitely going to try it.
Cool idea! I have used gel pens and highlighters by themselves in my coloring pages, but hadn't thought to layer them. I will definitely be giving this a try.
I am so excited to try the sharpie highlighter. I am fairly new to the coloring scene. Thanks for the video.
+Peggy Calk, have fun with your highlighters!

lovely, you can use the same technique with crayola markers too :)
I am a new subscriber... I just wanted you to know I am enjoying every minute I have spent watching and trying all the new techniques ... Thank you for sharing this video I hope you have a nice day
I would love to try and use the sharpie highlighter as a base. I live in a nursing home and I think this is a wonderful technique for us residents.
+Michelle Werner, maybe you could raid the desk of the receptionist for their highlighters, lol 😉. Thanks for watching.
I really like the way sharpies highliter makes it look brighter and question would crayola marker work too.
Fascinating secret. You are brilliant. Will give it a try. Thank you for sharing.
I'm an illustrator and this even helped me! I never thought of putting marker under my color pencil
+Alayah Hayala, I love how we can all teach each other. Sharing art tips is soooo fun and rewarding!
I'm as excited about the gel pens as you are lol. I have used the sharppie highlighter to color along with my gel pens but not under them. I can't wait to try it. thanks for sharing you secret weapon with us. I know you must have had to give that lots of thought lol.
+Meme Again, have fun trying the technique! I love it!
Can you still layer up the colored pencils on top of the highlighter? I know it showed more depth with one color of pencil but if I still want to use multiple shades of a color will it work to layer & blend on the highlighter? Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing with us. I am really enjoying your videos.
