When I found out that Silke had agreed to join us at CASE study, I knew what I needed to do........

 Without further ado, here is Silke's magnificent inspiration

Copic Intermediate !!

I must admit that I have been sitting on this one for over a week, but the time has come to share.

Last Monday I attended the 1st ever Australian Copic Intermediate course here in Melbourne -Our hands were held throughout the day by our very own talented 'Copic Queen' Mandi-Lee, who made the day a whole lot of fun!

 We had a pretty busy day, sitting out side our comfort zone for a big part of the day, but having said that the learning curve was HUGE!!

 

Mandi-Lee lead us through shadow colour theory, Properties of Light and shadow (stretching the mind) - boy did I need help here, now it is finally making sense!

We coloured with combinations that I would have been too scared to use together, we even played around with some of the tricky situations, skin and hair being the biggies!

See you back here tomorrow when we reveal the April Muse at CASE study!!

You know what I love about digi's- can can have them whatever darn size you want!!!  In the 1st one below however I made it a little challenging to colour, all those little bits to colour- thank goodness for the colourless blender-lol!!
