Skin, Hair & Eyes Class

The 2nd class that is scheduled is on "Skin, Hair & Eyes". It's pretty obvious what you will learn in this class. You will leave knowing the basic color grouping for skin. But you will also have a chart of all skin colors to use. Same with Hair. We will color one of the combinations, but you will have a chart for home that has all the most common combinations on it.We'll also do a very brief tutorial on eyes. It's pretty cool! You will need the following list of Copic Markers for this class- E000, E00, E11, R20, E53, E55, E57, Y11, Y21, YR21, N2 & .35 Black Multiliner.

Here are the sample cards that you will see posted at Daisy Lane.

Copic Basics Class #1

Last week I told you all that I am going to start teaching some classes at a local Scrapbook Store. My blog will be directed towards those that come there for a while.

There will be a series of 14 different classes that you can choose from Wow! I have been designing example cards for each of those classes for the past 2 weeks. It's very time consuming. I'm almost finished. I thought I would share these cards on my blog so that if any of the Daisy Lane Customers want to look at them at home they can.

The first class will be "Copic Basics". I will cover all the fundamentals about Copic Markers. The different types, storage, refilling, replacing nibs, explanation of letters & numbers. We will go over the Copic Color Chart and a little bit about how beneficial using a color wheel can be. I will show my personal SWATCH book. I will have plenty of handouts that cover all the information given in class plus a lot more that there just won't be time for. We'll talk about color groups and how you can pick your colors out.


In this class, we will also do handson. You will learn various ways to lay down color and blend it together. You will need the following Copic Markers for this class- B93, B97, E25, YR24, RV93 & C. Blender. The following two cards are the two methods we will practice in class.

You will learn a ton of information in this class. And I'm sure everything will be anxious to color, color, color. But knowing the basics first is crucial to your happiness and well being with Copics. Trust me!

Okay, I'll post information on the 2nd class soon. Feel free to email me with any questions about this class that you may have.

New Copic Teaching Job

Hey Everyone,
I'm so excited! I am going to start teach Copic Classes at a major Scrapbook store about 75 miles from my home. That seems like a long way, but it's only 2 Saturday's a month. Since it's a little bit of a drive, we are going to utilize Saturday to the full. I'll have at least 2 classes during the day. Maybe some time to demo for new customers too. We'll be offering 14 different classes. I've found that most scrapbook stores only offer basic beginner type stuff. You can choose to just do beginner stuff, but for those that really get interested, they can learn all kinds of skills and get more and more detailed.

It is exciting, but sooooo time consuming getting all the stuff ready, so.......see ya later!
