Copic 104: Properties of Light and Shadow
with Lisa Hetrick - the only Intermediate Level Copic Certified person in Maryland
Want to take your color work to the next level?
In this advanced class, you will learn how to color more realistically. We will spend the entire class working through and planning your light source. Since this is an advanced class, Copic experience is required.
It is recommended that you have taken at least the Copic 101 class before attending this one.

Prepared to be challenged as we discuss and practice how to get beyond the diffused world of light and learn the properties of light and shadow.
You will create a "light study" and focus practice using a linear light source (the sun) coloring and image with highlight and shadow.
Linear (sun), Radial (candle) and Single point (spotlight) clear guides will be provided in class as a tool for the "light study."
We will cover Radial and Single point light, but you will only color using the Linear guide.

Please be sure to bring colors that can be used as highlight, midtone and shadow. We will be breaking the "natural blending family" rule when selecting color.

Highlight Copic colors end in 0-3
Midtone Copic colors end in 4-6
Shadow Copic colors end in 7-9

Students will be coloring this image. Please click on the flyer and print it out. It will give you all the copic colors that were used in the sunflower image. Those colors are recommended but not required. However, students need to bring markers that are similar.
$25
