Very well done. I especially like the instruction on the Hydrangea and the Tulips. These are very tricky to line up the layers. Would it be possible in the future to also include how you would go about lining up layers with a Misti tool?
Love this

I appreciate the clear video and concise instruction. I also gain ideas about what colors look good together and little techniques that are used.

I am inspired to try coloring with alcohol markers again. I love the look but I just don't seem to get it to look good but with tips in this class I am willing to try again.
This is a great class - a must-have for all crafters coloring with alcohol markers. Kelly shares valuable tips and tricks helping to easily blend the colors and create beautiful projects!
Having taken the Watercolor 101 class which was excellent, I wanted to then learn more about using my Copic markers. This class had a lot of information and Kelly's style is always fun and refreshing but I wish she had included more basics for beginners. I am still struggling with choosing my 3-4 colors to achieve good results with shading. However, I realize that these instructional videos are free and I do appreciate Altenew making them available. I may need to go back and watch this one again.
Picked up a lot of information in this class for markers. Made my swatch, it is going to be so helpful!!!
I wish I had more than five stars to give for this class. I totally loved it. Kelly is such an amazing teacher. I learnt so many techniques. There were oodles of tips and tricks along the way. My confidence in colouring with markers has skyrocketed. One of my favourite classes ever.
