These are posts with videos mostly on the product itself, maintaining it, understanding it…and a few easy techniques to get you started! I’ll be organizing collections on beginner/intermediate/advanced coloring with Copics, as well as one on using different color families – so be sure to subscribe so you get notified when that’s posted in coming months!

This is amazing to have all these videos in one post – thanks!
OMG. I remember when the Analagous colors video first came out. I loved it so much I purchased that stamp set so I could color it just like you did. LOVED it! Sold the stamp set a while back ago. It was fun to revisit it. I was in love with the Hex Chart from Day 1. It is one of the best tools I purchased. That and your classes.
Thank you for always sharing your wealth of knowledge with others!
Wow Sandy! What an amazing resource. Thank you for this, it is incredibly helpful and just the inspiration I need to get back to my art!
