Copic Collections

Whew......there for a minute I completely forgot (old age) what I had in mind when I made this card..... what I was trying to achieve..... well I am still learning how to use Copics, I wanted to try another blending collection, just to see again, if it really works. With Flouirshes color collections, it has been much easier for me to achieve the color/shading I am happy with by being able to use colors that blend well together. I am still limited because I do not have enough of the right collection groups.
I had been buying single Copic in colors that were a close match to the SU colors I have. When I did it that way I had a hard time getting the look I wanted with one or two shade/hue/colors for my image. Jan Marie has taken all the guess work out of picking the combinations that work perfectly, and much to my amazement I NEED to buy (it is a need not a want) most of the whole groups in the collection. And here I thought I was doing a good job with my color choices then didn't understand why I couldn't get them to work well together.
For those of us that do not have a background in Art need all the help we can get....that is why I am excited to be able to get my hands on Copic's in Collections. The collection I used for this image will be called Daffodil and Spring Greens, very fitting don't you think?
