Everything Copic - Taught by a Copic Certified Designer and Regional Certification Instructor!


They’re the talk of the town... and you’re wondering, “Just what ARE Copics anyway and why are they so special?” Wonder no more. Join me on a journey through the land of Copic and find out just why these art markers are so hot.

In this class I will cover:

• Copic Product Basics - A detailed discussion of each style of marker, basic care and refilling, understanding the numbering system, and color choice. (First Week)
  

• Product Compatibility - Find out what inks and papers work best with the Copic markers and learn how to do testing with your own favorite products. (First Week)

• Color Combinations - Find out the most popular color combinations and create some of your own. Learn how to pick the right colors for your entire image. (Continuous)
  

• Blending Basics - Learn and practice inking and blending techniques (from simple to advanced) and how to most effectively use the blender marker. (Second Week)
  

• Mixed Media/Special Effects - Find out how to combine your Copic markers with other media for groovy special effects. (Third Week)
  

• The Airbrush System - No need to have it yet... but after seeing just what it can do... I bet you’ll want it! (Fourth Week)
  

This class will include instructional slideshows and/or videos, photo tutorials, a student art gallery, discussion forums, additional informational links, blank color charts, and the Copic color wheel chart.

Join me in class... and let your Copic skills be the talk of town!

This course went beyond my expectations. Instructions were good - videos were excellent and I do get the idea of using copics. - Mari


Outstanding course, instruction, handouts, and demos -- per your usual excellence! - Pam


Colleen has been terrific, very professional, and the material and videos probated by her are excellent. I am amazed on how quickly she responded to questions and discussions. I think that she went the extra mile to make this class enjoyable and a great learning experience for everyone. - Silvia


The weeks were divided into a doable amount and each week added something--but not too much. I learned a lot, and enjoyed it very much. Will do it again. - Judy


I really loved how she had not only the video, but the download tutorials as well. - Robyn


The tutorials and videos were wonderful. I especially liked how there was a tutorial that I could print to go with every video. - Linda


You have led our merry little band of eager and enthusiastic Copic Learners on this wonderful journey through "Copic Land." You have provided us with all that we need to succeed - videos, printed materials, the opportunity to exchange ideas, have our many questions answered and submit examples of our work. Throughout these six weeks, you have been like a one woman cheerleading squad, encouraging us, expressing happiness over our successes and gentle critiquing of our "weak" areas. I never felt discouraged or defeated because even as you were pointing out where I was going wrong, you still managed to find something "good" to point out and compliment. - Susann


You have a wonderful way of teaching, explaining in your tutorials and great feedback and ideas. It amazes me how you can look at something and know what the problem is and the solutions to correct it. I have learned more in one week in your class than I have in the last 6 months. I have been to several Copic classes but no one knew the Copics and coloring as you do! - Colleen


I loved this class sooo much and would like to see a more advanced class too!! I just can't get enough!!!! – Tammy




Colleen's demonstrations are very good and it allows you not only to read instructions but to view them via tutorials. I am super please and will be attending her future classes. I will be recommending MCC and Colleen to everyone to my friends who do crafts. - Colleen


Chiming in to thank you, Colleen! Wonderful tutorials - easy to read with wonderful accompanying photos. Fabulous video tutorials. Terrific feed-back - so important and you are prompt, concise, and offer wonderful concrete advice. - Claudia


I found Colleen's class to be one of the most professional classes on the web I've taken. (And believe me, I take a lot of online courses in many subjects.) Her videos are outstanding and I appreciated the PDF's to have as a back up. She is also very generous and gives lots of additional information. - Carol
