Back to School 4

Hello Friends and Welcome Visitors,

To enter my prize giveaway please click Here.

Can you believe it is September already?  Yikes!  10 days till my 60th birthday..double yikes!

As some of you know, I love to color with my copic markers.  I took the beginning and intermediate copic coloring classes and I had been coloring based on the things I learned in those classes over 5 years ago.  I started to notice that a lot of my friends had taken a giant leap in their coloring expertize.  I also noticed that many of them were taking classes from a on-line coloring class called Kit and Clowder.  So I signed up for the monthly class.  



Here is my first try at the class.  One of the things that I like is that they teach "dark to light" coloring whilst I learned it "light to dark"  I would always look at my darker copics and sigh because I never could figure out how to use them, but I used them a lot in this class.  The other thing that I really like is that I can watch her color on video and I can also print out the instructions in case I get lost.



Here is a close-up of my little fairy girl.  Notice that her wings are transparent...fun...also notice how her feet and the book in the grass have pressed down the grass around them..never did that before.  I had to draw clouds in the background and discovered I can't draw clouds..lol..I also went a little crazy with the white pen  I learned how to draw in a bridge of the nose and to color the eyeglasses.  I am going to sign up to take the hair and skin class.  Anyone want to take it with me?  If you do, please click HERE I get $10.00 for every person I refer.



Here is the inside of the card.  I am sending this card to my favorite great-niece.
