Hi! Thought I'd do a quick post today! I've finished a Kit and Clowder Birds in Bloom coloring class!! Woohoo! This took a good bit of time to finish, but it's so worth it. Each one of these classes I've taken, I have learned so much--coloring techniques, color blending, using different colors than I ever would have together, and so many other things!
This class used Copic markers and I was so happy that I had every single color, except one! This is a beautiful digital image that you can purchase from Power Poppy called Hummingbird Paradise.
The main thing I learned is that I need lots more practice on drawing thin lines with Copics. It's really hard for me! The other technique I need to practice more is getting those flicks nice and thin too. I hope these things will come in time.

NOW....I also learned that after my B29 marker did a HUGE burp onto my bird, I tend to FREAK out!!! LOL!
But only for a few moments. I got up and did something else. I came back and stared at it (nope, giving it the evil eye did not make it slither away LOL!) Then I got a couple paper towels and with one under the spot I used my colorless blender. I started at the top, just outside of the blob and pushed the blender just down into the blob. Then I took the second clean paper towel and pressed hard for several seconds. I did this several times at the top and bottom of the blob, letting it dry in-between times.
I did have to deviate from Alyce's coloring directions for that little section, but I'm pretty happy with the way I picked myself up off the floor and saved it! Haha!
Now, tell the truth. If I hadn't mentioned "the blob" would you have noticed? Thanks for stopping by! Have a great and colorful rest of your weekend! Hugs, Carol :)
