How to Color Grass: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to layer greens, add highlights, and create realistic textures for a natural look.

Materials Needed:

• Alcohol markers (light green, grass green, deep green, olive green, and yellow-green)

• White Gelly Roll pen

• Pencil (I usually use inkless pencil)

Step 1: Sketch the Grass Area

Use a pencil to lightly outline the general area of the grass. For a more natural effect, vary the height and direction of the blades.

Step 2: Base Layer with Light Green

Start with a light green base. 

Then add a different shade of green

Step 3: Add Depth with Deeper Greens

Step 4: Add green and darker green for blades of grass

Go over any areas that need more definition, adding extra grass strokes or blending colors further for a soft, natural look.

Step 5: Highlight with White Pen

Use a white acrylic pen or a white Gelly Roll pen to add tiny highlights on some grass blades to create a dewy, fresh effect.

And that’s it!
