Hello, coloristas! It’s Sandy Allnock, and I am so stinking excited about how this card came out.

Recently I visited the Skagit Valley near me where the daffodils and tulips were in bloom for miles in the distance — so today I’ll show you how to create your own Copic field of flowers! Bring on that sunshine!

Wasn’t that fun? And easy?? Just some scribbles within a strip of about an inch or so to create the visual of ginormous fields!

Even without the clouds, this scene would be so adorable.

Be brave and try those BVs for skin tone shadows sometimes…it takes a while to get used to, but the realism is worth it!
