In this intermediate Alcohol Marker class, 5 lessons will teach techniques for coloring a wide variety of Christmas holiday scenes. Each lesson builds upon the last, developing skills that lead to success in the following technique.
This class is appropriate for artists working in any genre - cardmaking, fine art, animé, etc. Lessons are taught on a small paper - each is 4-1/4" x 5.5" but can be adapted to a larger size as desired - just remember if you double the size of the paper, you may need to double the size of marker strokes.
What does "intermediate" mean here? The class is taught with paper and pens - no stamps, no sketches, no net! That doesn't mean it's going to be terribly difficult, but it does mean that at least a basic facility with markers is a must. Some experience with making marker strokes, blending, and flicking is needed; as well as the willingness to put a lot of color on the paper. Scenes are not for the timid who are hoarding ink in their pens. *smile*

I accomplished all lessons in this class. It is a wonderful class and again I learnd a lot. The scenes in this classes are so beuatiful some of them I drawed more than ones. Love it.

Oh, the scenes in this class!! So beautiful but I admit to being a little intimidated. I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. But, while I do need practice, my first attempts turned out so great–I was amazed. Sandy is such a good instructor. I find that when I pause the video and just relax through it, I not only enjoy the lesson more, I also have a better end product. Wonderful scenes and a wonderful class!

I accomplished more than I thought possible in this course. I cannot draw, which did give me pause on if this was the class for me. No stamped images to simply color? I thought there was no way I would be able to make my scene resemble the sample piece. I was wrong! The step-by-step instruction, and the ability to pause and rewind to watch a specific section multiple times, allowed me to bring the scenes to life. Sandy provides amazing direction for all of the lessons, and the price-point is incredible for the amount of instruction you receive. I highly recommend this course!
