ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. I love her! She reminds me of my niece who has been dancing since age 2. She is now 7 and still that baby ballerina to me. I have a question...What is the easiest way to find a Copic Marker class? Is there a group of instructors who teach, or is it best to start with a book? I love the markers, but don't color well. Any idea where I should start? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Winnie. Thanks for your comment. I had someone ask me this question just yesterday. I have never taken an online class, but here is a link to Suzanne Dean's blog. She has online classes, and is a fabulous Copic's teacher. http://www.scrapbitz.blogspot.com/ You can also visit Marianne Walker's blog at http://ilikemarkers.blogspot.com/ Marianne is the Guru of Copic Instructors. You can also go to Google and search for Copic You Tube videos. There are a ton of them. Hope this helps. Other than that, it's just a lot of practice.
