I promise, I have not abandoned my blog. It seems time just flew by and I haven't been feeling super creative, so blog didn't happen. However, I did attend a Copic Certification Class last weekend and ...
All I can say is WOW! Sally Lynn MacDonald has more energy than the pink bunny. The class was so informative and quick paced, I am super pleased I was able to participate. Some of the simplest tidbits of information really seem to cause light bulbs to go off over my head, lol. My favorite was a great explanation of the Copic numbering system, which I will share here. I think the letters are pretty clear, the represent the color family, ie blue, violet, yellow, etc. The part that was not so clear were the two numbers following. Well, the first number represents how much gray is in the color, the lower the number the less gray in it. The second number represents the intensity of the color. This makes choosing colors that compliment each other (not same color family) quite easy. If you love R21 and want a blue to go with it, just choose B21, or G21 for a green. They will always look great together. I hope this tidbit will set off a few lightbulbs for you. I will jot down some more of my lightbulb moments as I remember them and hopefully all the practicing I am doing (required to absorb and perfect all the 8 hours of info provided by Sally) will start to pay off in beautiful colored images.
Julie, sounds like you came away like....money well spent? that's great! See anybody there that we might know?
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for the great info. It is a great help. Glad that you enjoyed the Copic Class.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the class! I can't wait for more tidbits. This did help. I mostly have prismacolor markers but am slowing adding copics to the mix. I can't wait until your mojo is back and we can see some of your new coloring skills.
ReplyDeleteStopping back- not sure why my comment did not take- darn blogger! I had a wonderful time at the class- it was fun to meet you and have lunch together. I am hoping if they are going to have the next class, we can meet in advance- Ohio is not really my Copic region, but it was perfect timing for me. Sally was great- she covered lots of material in a short time and kept the class right on schedule.
