First is the news that the Ciao colors are going to be produced in 36 additional Copic colors. As most of you know, the complete Copic line has 336 wonderful colors. The Ciao line, designed as a beginner marker, has 144 of those colors. The line will now have 180 colors! I will get information later this month on when the new colors will be available.
Next is a great sounding book produced by Marianne Walker on shading and shadows. Marianne is a guru with these markers and can really make them sing! As stampers have started to use these products, those of us without formal art training, have not always understood how to use shading principles. We do know that when we see things properly shaded, we like the way it looks. This book is reportedly designed for beginners and explains the basic principles. I will get a chance to preview the book at CHA and it should be in the store for sale in March.
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available!
