Frustrated with traditional Copic Marker blending? No matter how hard you try, your flowers still looks artificial. Better coloring recipes, better tutorials, better digital stamps, and better how-to videos are not the answer.

Join Amy for a look at how relying on blending combinations leads to pattern coloring and how patterns kill the depth, dimension, and realism in your flowers.

You don't need a tutorial, you need a shift in your approach to botanicals.
