FAQs
Can I use markers with this palette?
Definitely. Just test your markers on a scrap sheet first. Both alcohol markers and water-based markers can work well, depending on the look you want and how you like to color. Alcohol markers usually go down smoother and blend easily, while water-based markers give you a bit more control and tend to bleed less.
What if I don’t have these exact shades?
No worries at all! These codes are just a guide. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand, just look for colors with a similar vibe. The goal is the overall feel, not matching every shade perfectly.
What’s the easiest way to color the grass?
Instead of coloring it all solid green, the easiest way to color grass is to add small flicks with a couple of nearby shades. Try mixing the teal and light green from the palette so the ground looks more textured and less flat.
How do I make the water look realistic?
The key is to keep some white paper for highlights. Start with your light watercolor across the pond, then add a slightly darker shade right around the lily pads and along the edges. Finish with a few small white dots or little marks to make it look like light on water.
Where can I find more color inspiration?
Our blog is updated regularly with new guides! You can also check out our Pinterest boards for more themed palettes to keep your creativity flowing.
Does this palette work for other coloring books?
Absolutely. While we designed it for the Cozy Corner Coloring Book, these natural, earthy tones look amazing in any nature-themed or "comfy" illustration. Give it a try on your favorite page!
What should I use to add small highlights?
A white gel pen is a game-changer! Use it to add tiny dots to the water or a little shine to the frogs' eyes. It’s the easiest way to add that "extra cute" finish.
