Fun Weekend

Sorry I've been MIA for a while...lots to update you on!

Last weekend, Claudette was here teaching her Copic hair coloring class. I finally remembered to take some photos this time, so wanted to share the fun we had. Everyone did SO well with their coloring, we were so proud! Thanks Claudie for another great class!
















Stella was our coloring subject, her bob hairstyle was perfect for learning how to highlight and shade.
















































We hope to squeeze in one more coloring class next month, so stay tuned! Claudette will be teaching her coloring technique on flowers & foliage using one of the new Hero Arts stamp set.

Copic Hair Coloring Class

This past Saturday, Claudette was here at Pineapple Cove teaching a Copic Class on coloring black hair. We had two sessions with a small class size so that everyone was able to see and follow along. We had so much fun, I forgot to grab my camera to take some photos. Sorry!

We used Stella from The Greeting Farm as our sample subject and I have to say, everyone on their 1st try colored amazingly! It was so much fun, we'll be repeating the Copic Hair class in June and adding a Flower & Foliage class for our next series.

Thanks to everyone who attended, hope you had as much fun as we did!

I wanted to share a project from Norma who attended the class. She doesn't have a blog...maybe we'll be able to convince her to start one *hint, hint*. Look at her amazing coloring! She went home right after the class and worked on this altered Easel Card.


















Can you say AMAZING? I just LOVE the way she placed the highlights in the hair of the 3 TGF girls. You did an AWESOME job coloring Norma!!!

I'll keep you all posted of the upcoming Copic classes as we firm up dates & times.
