Amy Shulke – Marker Painting Foundations

Marker Painting Foundations is the first step towards coloring independently and with more accurate realism.Amy Shulke – Marker Painting FoundationsNew to Copic Markers?Join Amy Shulke, a professional illustrator and marker enthusiast for an introduction to painting with markers- Vanilla Arts style!Coloring blogs and internet tutorials have a major drawback- they are almost always demonstrations rather than instruction. Copy-cat or “do what I do” style videos can only teach you to mimic the instructor. Sure, you can color that same image by following along, but what happens when you want to color a different image, one you haven’t yet seen demonstrated?Uh oh… now you’re stuck.Marker Painting is a new approach to coloring with markers. Amy teaches students basic techniques and color theory based on the way artists use paint. Instead of focusing on “how” to color a selected stamp image, Amy shows you the “why” behind color selection, shade, layering, and depth. This provides students with the necessary knowledge and instincts to color an endless variety of images for the rest of their lives.Marker Painting Foundations is the first step towards coloring independently and with more accurate realism.In this twelve week beginner level course, Amy covers basic marker techniques and general know-how, giving students a good understanding of both how markers work and how to work markers.This course is ideal for:complete beginnersself taught colorers who feel as if they’ve missed key information about basic techniquefrustrated colorers who struggle when coloring unfamiliar imagescolorers who find themselves in a rut; looking for something beyond regular blending techniquecrafters wishing to push beyond craft level coloring, to boost depth and realism in their projectsTwelve Week Course includes:12 weeks of coloring lessons-30 to 60 minutes of clear technique instructionguided coloring video for every projectmid-week supplementals to spark further thought16 PNG digital stamps (also PDF and JPG alternate formats)bonus supplementals and consumer informationmultiple instructional handouts, designed to complement each week’s video lessondiscussion board for instructor guidance, help, Q&ACurriculum Overview:marker ink- understanding how ink worksmarker care and maintenancemarker papers and cardstocksbasic marker strokescolor blending fundamentalstroubleshooting and correcting mistakesintroduction to coloring for depthintroduction to coloring for shapeintroduction to coloring for balancemarker limitationsOPEN ENROLLMENTForever access.

Work at your own pace.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen does the course and finish?The first lesson opens immediately after you enroll. The remainder of the course is spread out over 12 weeks with lessons opening to you every three to four days. Work at your own pace. Very few students work each lesson as it is released to them but there is no time limit on assignments and no pressure to complete a lesson before the next lesson is made available. Do what you can, when you can!Do I have to hurry to complete the lessons before the current open enrollment period ends?ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Enrollment periods do not affect registered students. The course stays open and available for registered students year round. Basically, once you’re in, you’re in.How will I know when a lesson segment has been opened for me?Lessons open every three to four days. An automated email goes out as each segment opens to you.Can I opt for immediate access to all class segments?Sorry, but no. This class is deliberately rationed over twelve weeks. In my experience, handing a student too much information all at once is detrimental to the learning process. The slow release of information allows you to fully digest and mentally process the class materials. Waiting 3-4 days between segments also allows you time to practice and perfect the current technique before we build upon it in the next segment. Be patient. Learning requires more than enthusiasm, it also requires time.How long do I have access to the course?Lifetime access! After each segment opens to you, you will have unlimited access to the content for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.What skill level does this class require?This class is for true beginners.

You not only learn from your instructor you learn from one another.What if I’m missing a few markers or supplies from the required list?In general, I’m liberal about supply substitutions, but this is a beginner course and I’ve designed a minimal supply list. I understand that beginners do not own many markers and often have limited resources. All of the required markers are high frequency use markers in my own studio. Substitutions are possible but with hesitation. Email [email protected] for further specific info if a small marker collection or your budget is a primary concern.What if I am unhappy with the course?I would never want you to be unhappy!
