Learn the Flick stroke for Copic Markers

Everybody talks about the flick stroke…

You can’t spend 10 minutes looking at Copic on the Internet without stumbling across a reference to flicking.

But here’s the problem - instructors and bloggers don’t seem to agree on what a flick is and how to do it.

Really?

Really. It's likely in the top ten things that marker bloggers blog about and if I had a Twinkie for every different explanation, I've seen...

Well, I'm not sure what I'd do with a three-story high pile of Twinkies... but you get the idea.

Join me for a deep dive look at the Marker Painting flick technique

What a flick is, what it looks like, how to do it, when to do it...

This isn't just a passing glance at flicking! I even get into maximizing your wrist anatomy to make the best flick possible.

This online course is perfect for:

• complete beginners

• self taught colorers who feel as if they've accidentally missed key information

• long time colorers who still encounter problems with blending, shading, or developing convincing depth

Chinese Lanterns: Watercolor and Colored Pencil

Underpainting? With Watercolor?

Yes! Watercolor is beautiful but it has one major drawback.

You can mix the most vibrant watercolor colors imaginable on your palette. Gorgeous, wet, and amazing color! But once they go onto the paper and dry, the color will fade.

It's the nature of the beast. Watercolor loses its potency as it dries.

But there are ways to keep your paintings from washing out and looking pale. It's called underpainting. We are going to try preserving vibrancy!

**Taught as a local class in 2016. Now available as a full page digital stamp**

Chinese Lanterns

Designed for Watercolor but perfect for Copic or colored pencil.

This full page digital image is an original stamp used in my H2Oh! watercoloring classes in 2016. It was designed as a full page stamp (8.5" x 11") but can be scaled down if desired.

"Chinese Lanterns" has wide open areas with no texture marks and is perfect for colored pencil, alcohol markers, watercolor... your options are endless!

Lettering is not included in the digital stamp as it was hand lettered by me after the project was compled.

This stamp was taught as a watercolor class, therefore I do not have a recipe guide to include in the stamp package. You can view my “Work in Progress” photos for this project on Instagram here.
