Polka Dot Emma

I'd always thought that my colouring was good however as I'm self taught I knew there were so many things, tips and tricks I've yet to learm/master. I've recently been introduced to an extremely talented lady by the name of Alyce Keegan who is the brains behind Kit and Clowder. She is a superb colour artist and has some amazing technique classes on her forum. If anyone is wanting to expand their skills with alcohol markers then I suggest that you book into one of her classes (classes run online in your own time with great downloadable detailed tutorial booklets, exercise sheets, videos and personal feedback to boot!)
