While hiking with my family up near Buffalo Peak a few days ago a cloud shadow passed over as I was crossing one of the meadows along the trail and the contrast between to hazy pinkish summertime Mt. Timpanogos in the distance and the shadowed cool maple trees and meadow in my foreground caught my attention. I determined that I would give that contrasty feeling try. At the request of my internet guru Daniel I have included a short little tutorial on my working methods the subject is sketching landscape values with gray Prismacolor markers. I use them both in my sketch book and at times as an under-drawing for painting the advantage of using the markers is that they come in ten different values so if I draw my design with a light marker I can then fill in different values rapidly with the other markers in my little video I use a 30% 70% and 90% cool gray markers. I have painted over Prismacolor markers with oils and acrylics and I have never had any problems.
