Copic markers are high-quality alcohol ink markers you can use to create beautiful, even painterly, effects! This workshop will provide some foundational techniques you can use to help build your confidence in creating art with Copic markers. We’ll briefly touch on the Copic marker system and share some care and maintenance tips. We’ll spend the majority of the workshop exploring a variety of fundamental coloring techniques including fills, blending, and layering/mixing color.
This workshop is perfect for artists new to the Copic marker system and beginner and intermediate artists looking to boost their skills with Copic markers. We’ll also discuss types of paper and how they work with Copic markers. While this class will focus on Copic markers, the techniques will work for alcohol markers in general.
