Copic Design Team Member Sharon Harnist joins us today to show us a Copic Marker coloring tutorial - flick feathering or feather blending. 1. Start the stroke at the bottom (or edge of your stamped flower line) and flick the marker upward. You should have more pressure on the marker at the beginning of the stroke and then less pressure as you near the end of the stroke, so there is less (or narrower) color towards the top of your stroke. You can vary the “broadness” of your stroke (and color intensity) by how much pressure you place on the...
For this piece and all of my artwork in general I create to exemplify the beauty of nature and serve as a reminder of how awesome it is to spend time in nature. I am a huge proponent for hiking and just getting out on trails, getting out into nature. I think that it is very important to take time for revitalizing and connecting with the outside world and I make my artwork to be an inspiration to do that.

I recently gave 6th-grade students the opportunity to use oil pastels. I love the look of oil pastels and the students find the medium to be very engaging. The only problem was I wasn't prepared. I wanted to give the students the opportunity to use various methods of using oil pastels on their work. I quickly did what anyone would do, I looked at The Art of Education page for some help. Sure enough, they had something waiting there for me. Tracy Hare had written an article several years ago on 7 different techniques for oil pastel. These were a great start. Now I just had to figure out the best way to manage the tools, and teach my students these 7 exciting ways to use oil pastels. I got my supplies ready. My co-worker Mary Farber suggested that I use Portfolio oil pastels. She was right, they are really smooth. I then took the oil pastels and put one of each color into a little bucket. The buckets were distributed to each table to share. In this lesson, I also had scratch sticks, Q tips and mineral oil available for students to use. Then we set to work. I bought them through each method showing them under my doc cam. I loved the results of their oil pastel notes in their sketchbook. Right after having success with this lesson, I sat down to make a flipped lesson for my next quarter students. This is going to be great! I filmed so that the techniques could be seen close up. I explained the process of each method. I will be able to take a bigger role in checking for understanding now that I have this lesson in a digital format. When I'm demonstrating, it's hard to walk around the room as well. But when I have pre-recorded my videos, it makes it so much easier. I put a lot of effort into this lesson and would like to share it with you as well. This lesson had all 7 techniques demonstrated, it has a supply list, and how to set up the page. This lesson also has several student samples. I had my students working in their sketchbooks, but you could use the handout I have provided in this lesson as well. Please visit my Teachers Pay Teacher page if you would like to learn more about this lesson.
