Copic: Art is Kim’s first love, she was happy with her alcohol Prismacolor markers and went “I will never spend that much for a marker” looking at the Copics. Then she discovered the Earth Tones and how easy they made for doing skin tones. She was hooked and decided to become a certified designer with Copics. Now 2 certifications and several workshops from Copic, she is passing on her knowledge to you in a series of monthly classes. While the classes are geared towards Copics most of the techniques will work with any alcohol based marker (the exception is the flicking technique used by Copic) $15 plus materials

I encourage you to bring any color and brand of Alcohol markers I will have a set of PrimsaColor ones for class use and will have my Copic collection to supplement any color you might be missing.
