Getting started

How to use your set.

Four simple steps, then the rest is yours. No art experience needed.

  1. Melmar dual-tip alcohol markers with the caps off, showing the brush and fine tips

    01

    Two tips, two jobs.

    The soft brush tip fills and blends. The fine tip handles outlines and small details.

  2. Testing each marker on the Melmar swatch card

    02

    Swatch first.

    Color one box per marker on the swatch card and note its code. Now you know exactly how each shade looks on paper.

  3. The frosted Melmar protective sheet laid over a Nature's Harmony page

    03

    Sheet under the page.

    Alcohol ink soaks through paper, which is what makes the colors so rich. Slip the protective sheet under the page you are coloring and the next one stays clean.

    Move the sheet along with you as you turn to each new page.

  4. Blending colors on a floral page with Melmar markers

    04

    Light to dark.

    Lay down your lightest shade, add the darker one where shadows fall, then soften the edge with the light marker while it is still wet.

Keep your markers fresh.

  • Click both caps shut after use
  • Store them lying flat
  • Keep them away from heat

Color in a well-ventilated space and keep markers away from young children.
