Copic Techniques Class

Hello,

Well, today I thought that I would introduce a class of mine that is EXTREMELY popular in several southern California stores. It is my COPIC TECHNIQUES CLASS. Below is a description of the 3 hour class. If you are interested in taking a class or scheduling a class at your store, please contact me via email. Jenniebstampin@aol.com Classes are listed on the right side of my blog under current classes.

NOTE: I am expanding the areas that I teach this class to the areas in which I do certification classes. IE: Portland, Oregon, Phoenix Arizona, Salt Lake city, UT, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and so many more places - watch my blog for updates.

Class Description:
This is a fun and energetic class packed with information on how to use your Copic markers. In this class each person will receive a special Copic Technique workbook written by me. We will work in this book and practice each of the below techniques. This book becomes a wonderful resource tool to use at home. You will also have several extra images in the book so that you can continue to practice each technique after you go home. As practice makes perfect!

Here is a list of some of the things we learn in class.

1. Introduction to Copic Markers (warranty, different styles, storage, scrapbook safety, blender pen, multi-liner, spica glitter pen etc.
2. How to refill markers & replace nibs (demo)
3. Paper Selection - what types to use and not use and why.
4. Ink - What types of ink to use and not use and why
5. understanding color - basic color wheel, complimentary colors, Copic Color Wheel

7. Blender pen - fun and practical things you can do with the blender pen and blender solution.
8. How to select natural blending colors.
9. Shading & finding your light source.
10. Blending (like colors and different color families)

12. Feathering
13. How to color images with hair and wood.

  1. Sadly, I'll never get to take a class. I'm wondering if you might have your class available in an ebook format? Or know of something similar? I am totally new to copics, very interested in all that you have to offer. Thanks.

  3. I am in Northern San Diego county and would love a class down this way! I am new to Copics and need to learn, but driving up to L.A. or that area is a bit of a jaunt for me. I'll keep watching the blog for possible sites down here in San Diego! I'm very close to Gigi's Stamps and not too far from Stampin' Details...hint hint. :o)
