We’d like to thank Anna Fearer of More Paper Than Shoes for stopping by the CSS booth, and capturing our Copic Demo from the CK Convention in Virginia Beach (Aug 2010).  Anna was sweet enough to share the video here for you…

{Demo: 2}  Basic Trio Coloring with Copic Markers

At Clear and Simple Stamps we teach how to color with Copic Markers using our Trio Marker Bundles. Within each bundle you will find a main color, a highlight, and a shadow.

Stamp image in CSS Black ink onto CSS White cardstock. Then color the entire image with your lightest color in your Red Trio 3 set, R32.

____________________________________________________________________

Next, take your darkest color in your Red Trio 3 set, R39 and add in a shadow along the edges of the image.

____________________________________________________________________

Then go back with your middle color from Red Trio 3, R35 and go over your shadow line.  This will create a wider range of color as the ink does move on the paper.

____________________________________________________________________

Now go back over the entire image with your lightest color in the Red Trio 3 set, R32 to blend all of the colors together to smooth out the color and create a nice shadow on the image.

*{Repeat steps 1 – 4 with Yellow Green Trio 2 for the glades of grass.}

Finally, add in a shadow with your lightest marker in the Warm Gray Trio 1 set,  W1 to indicate white. Then outline the entire image with the lightest marker in the Neutral Gray 1, N1 to add a bit more dimension to your image.
