Be a shady-lady...learn several shading techniques, as well as tried and true tips and tricks to understanding and using these invaluable color tools. Learn to make those colors pop!
You will create a simple journal (or use one you have), and enjoy the several downloadable PDF's. Think doodles (mine and yours), tools, comprehensive references and resources....to help you organize and understand the markers of the professional artists all over the world.

As the Workshop progresses, we will put our skills to use. Apply the lessons to art journal pages, cards, scrapbook layouts, canvases...whatever you like. I will be using an art journal.
