Underwater Scenes (alcohol marker): Preclass

Welcome to class!

This intermediate course needs markers and paper – no other supplies! If it’s been a while since you colored with your Copics, you may wish to review the Copic Jumpstart course content – including the introductory videos in the PreClass lesson in that curriculum. You may wish to refill markers and change out ragged nibs before getting started on this course!

(There are no videos in this pre-class lesson.)

Paper

You may use whatever paper you normally choose for your alcohol marker coloring. In the class, Neenah Solar White is used. On slicker marker papers, or really thick papers, some of the techniques may turn out differently due to the way those papers blend.

White pen

You’ll need a white gel pen – my favorite is listed here but use whatever white gel pen that works best for you.

Markers

 The colors shown here are the ones used in the lessons – however, if you have a color that’s close, you will be just fine. You can also use any brand, just look for a color close to these cap colors. See the next lesson for more on converting colors.
