The Flick Stroke: The Essential Copic Marker Technique

The Flick Stroke: The Essential Copic Marker Technique

He loves me, he loves me not...

"Oopsie Daisy" is a Marker Painting Workshop that introduces you to the art of Flicking! Flicking can help develop depth in your floral images.

Marker Painting Workshops are NON-SEQUENTIAL!

All of my Workshop classes are FOREVER ACCESS. Work at your own pace and repeat the project as many times as you'd like.

Water control = color control

H2Oh! classes approach watercolor from a rather unique perspective.

I learned to watercolor first. And my watercolor mindset has greatly influenced the way I use and teach Copic marker classes.

H2Oh! flips that on its head. I teach my intermediate level coloring students to use their Copic skills with watercolor.

The two mediums are very similar. With one exception...

Water control.

In marker, if you want a lighter color, you switch to a lighter marker. In watercolor, you dilute your paint.

How much to dilute... now that's the hard part.

This month we're limiting our color palette in order to concentrate on the strength of our paint. Light green, dark green, light violet, dark violet. It's good practice to see how many colors we can get from just a few tubes of paint.

**Taught as a local class in 2016.**
