A month or so ago I spoke at an art league in another part of my state – via zoom! The person inviting me said in our discussions that they’d like a demo; I assumed watercolor at first, but she indicated that she thought Copic would be interesting. Hmm. Well, though most of the members are painters, and the painters I know prefer to see painting, I figured I’d go for it.
I crafted a whole message to encourage them to create daily…then in the demo, explained the basics of what Copics are, and the downsides – like, they’re not archival, so be aware of that before deciding to switch from painting, of course! For papercrafting they’re great but….not as much for fine art, though they do a beautiful job.
My patrons got to attend my practice session – if you’d like to become a patron and see that as well as other monthly livestreams, you can do that here.

A note about the paper: it’s 12″ x 18″ and is the heavyweight version of Neenah – I got a ream of it several years ago at a paper store.

So so beautiful
Fabulous and breathtaking art Sandy!
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome colouring.
Stay safe and have a wonderful day.
OMG! the dimension is amazing! It seems 3D! I thought I could touch the tulip!
It is fascinating to watch how you add the details– the tiniest touches of color and stroke direction variation make such a difference in the realism of the tulip.
You have great talent– thank you for sharing your process.
Well. Just. WOW! Delightful to see what you do when you take your cardmaking cap off and put on the professional artist hat! Thank you for letting us watch!
