Markers

Copic markers are made in Japan. They are permanent and non-toxic alcohol based markers. I began using them in the Spring of 2018. These markers make a bold line that is easy to see. Besides the point, they also have a broad wedge that fills in areas of the drawing. They come in 358 colors. The colors are strong, rich, brilliant as well as soft and light. They can be layered also. I use them on 140 pound acid free watercolor paper, usually hot press to avoid a paper texture. I prefer texture to come from the drawing. However, the image is built on making marks. I love the process that shows the mark making.
