Realistic Flowers (Alcohol marker): Preclass

If you’ve been coloring a while you likely have what you need to complete these lessons!

Before we start…a little housekeeping

I retain the copyright to the content you are learning in class. That means…

1. Do not sell or give away the concepts from my classes – you may not re-teach my instruction contained or created within these lessons.
2. Do not post a video tutorial or step by step photo tutorial of your own redraw of class content.
3. Do not repost any handouts you receive in class.

However…I love to see students making strides and taking this teaching and personalizing it with your own skills.

1. DO make your own designs and develop your own style! I love that!
2. DO gift your creations made with these techniques, of course!

At the bottom of each lesson you’ll see some ways to share your homework and ask questions, so that’ll be handy for you.

Markers!

The colors pictured below are the ones used in this course. The most unique ones that not everyone has are the FV2, Flourescent Violet, which is the only great purple for the Iris, and a B63, which is a desaturated blue that goes well with it. For the rest, you can likely substitute colors.

You can use any brand of alcohol markers in this course, just look for colors that are like these shown. (See the second lesson in this course for more on other brands.)

Marker-friendly printer and paper

You’ll need to print out the five pages for coloring on marker-friendly paper with marker-friendly ink. If your computer toner bleeds (most noticeable with pale colors), then print it out and take it to your local copy shop along with Copic-friendly paper; copier toner usually works just great.

Paper used here is Neenah cardstock, but use whatever works best for you.
