Leaving, on a jet plane.......

Well not just yet, but as you know, I will be heading back to Florida to teach at My Favorite Things in the Autumn, woo hoo!

And as my new class is all about skin, hair.......and yes, those eyes, I thought I ought to start as I mean to go on and keep practicing colouring those features!

Now, my trusty luggage that travels with me across the pond is navy blue, so I thought I'd dress this little gal up in a pretty blue ensemble with matching cases too, as she heads off to catch her plane.

The stamp has a single suitcase, however, I thought I'd jazz it up a little with the help of a bit of masking and gave her a second suitcase with wheels!  Then I doodled in a check-in desk to help set the scene.

As always for those who are inspired to have a go at this yourselves, here is the Copic list:

NEW COPIC CLASSES - MFT - OCTOBER 14 - 15

Ahoy mateys!  

I am flying back to Florida in October for yet more Copic colouring fun.......want to join me?

CLASS INFORMATION:

My Favorite Things Boutique

Eustis, Florida

14th - 15th October 2017

(Schedule information below)

If you would like to learn how I approach colouring with Copics, adding my own quirkiness to bring rubber stamps to life - then why not click on the link below and sign up for one of my classes.

Not sure if this class is for you because you've never used markers before, or have limited experience with them; don't worry, nor had some of my students in previous classes and they had a blast!  

I walk you through step by step, giving you the skills and more importantly the confidence to get the most out of the markers.  

You'll be amazed what you can achieve!

Back in April, my students learnt numerous techniques to create fur, grass, buttercups and skies........ they even got to draw some rather 'comical' cows!

 This time I'm going to share my love of "faces" - and yes, you will learn how I add those eyes!!

The schedule for each class day is as follows:

Morning Session 

9 am - 12 pm

Lunch Break 

12 pm - 2 pm

Afternoon Session 

2 pm - 5 pm

During the morning session, I will be teaching you some of the basic techniques I use for no-line colouring, building your knowledge, proficiency and confidence.  Then in the afternoon we'll be implementing those techniques to create your very own Copic masterpiece!

The class fee is 

$75

Each day of class will include 6 hours of instruction and will be identical in content.  

Simply register for the class day that best suits you.

You just need to bring adhesive and the required Copics to the class. 

The Copic list will be provided at a later date, with ample time for you to purchase the markers.

PLEASE NOTE: 

Each class will accommodate a maximum of 30 students and are expected to sell out quickly.

Due to the limited seating availability and special nature of this event, no refunds will be given if you are unable to attend.

I am so looking forward to sharing my love of art and Copic colouring again - hope to see you there!

It's Artistic Expression time again over on the MFT Blog

What shall we do with the drunken sailor.........or indeed a pesky chicken?  Whilst I ponder on that I thought I'd share a little teaser with you all - this is from my latest Artistic Expression feature for My Favorite Things.
