The entire area is incredibly pedestrian friendly, no car required!

Warning!
I’ve got a ton of behind the scenes projects and improvements coming in 2019.
With so many major launches and changes on the horizon, I’ve had to scale back the retreat plans. I can’t launch and monitor new things from out of state, out of the country, or the backwoods of Michigan.
This is likely the only retreat until late fall 2019 and it’s probably the only Copic focused retreat this year.
If you’re holding out for a better location, you may miss the fun until 2020.
Join me for coloring fun under the warm Texas sun!
Yahoo, yee haw, and giddy-yup y’all.
Now I’m fixin’ to find some red cowboy boots to go with my new Texan accent…
My sincerest apologies to southern readers. I’m so painfully northern that snow shoots out my ears when I sneeze. I promise not to talk Texan at the retreat.
Realistic Coloring: How to add authentic texture to your Copic Marker and colored pencil projects
Do you blend everything smooth?
My latest Copic Marker Coloring Tips video at YouTube is all about texture.
As a beginner, most colorers focus on blending skills. After all, the blends are what originally attracted you to markers in the first place.
So you dream about blending, you practice blending, and the color blends are what you notice most when you go online to look at other coloring projects and tutorials.
Blend, blend, blend.
But wait, are you stuck on blending?
