Aside from “why are reds so hard to blend without bleeding!?”, the color I get asked most to show is black objects – often asked in terms of coloring hair, but dogs as well. So….today’s the day!

Download
The download is freeeee! I have been putting all my downloadables in the shop over at art-classes.com not just to be annoying (lol) – but because once you put it in your cart, you only have one place to go to re-find it when you lost the original. So go add this to your downloads in your account, then try coloring a black object in a new-to-you combo!

What an awesome colouring tutorial Sandy.
I have always known that black hair and black hair not always the same colour are but what you have done is fabulous. Totally love it!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial, also the download,
stay safe and have a wonderful day.
These are so cool Sandy
Very interesting and helpful. Are you going to do this for each color of hair?
Sure would help me. Thanks, Edna
Your video Sandy was very helpful to me a lot. I find hair extremely hard to do. Could you show us how you color in different colors say blond, mid brown. I certainly could do with your help more. My drawing turn out so much better after watching and learning from you. Thank you so much for sharing.
Go download the human rainbow collection – there’s a chart with blond etc colors. https://art-classes.com/product/human-rainbow-chart-collection/
