My friend, Margaret, came by yesterday for my first Copic
Winterbirds class. We had a wonderful time and managed to finish these two
cards in two hours. Our goal was to create a relatively realistic
representation of these winter birds using short strokes and shading. I’m
rather happy with these cards (except for some red smudges on the ribbon) but
that’s what I get for rushing. My third card for my “Winter Birds” collection
is a cardinal, but I’m opting to add that in later because it strayed from the
color scheme I used in the “sparrow” and the chickadees. The real beauty is
that we were able to finish the cards in two hours. I love it when a plan comes
together.
