I'm currently taking several classes at Kit and Clowder, and I love them! You get videos, printed text instructions, and practice sheets, not to mention tons of feedback on your coloring from Alyce. You can work at your own pace and that has been perfect for me. There are months when I get busy with other things and don't have time to color, and then when time opens up, I can just pick up where I left off.
She is great about listening to her "students" and has added classes based on what folks are hungry for. Most classes use Copic markers with comparable conversions to Promarkers and some other markers. One class is devoted to Distress Inks. I believe she might have one for pencils or is working on one - not sure. But she has heard those of us who said "we want ........." :-) She also has a ton of fun contests and lots of giveaways on her Facebook group.
Oh - and if you are in the US - she has told us that the Australian dollar has dropped so your class price is even cheaper right now. It would be an awesome Christmas present to yourself!! :-)
I too am doing classes with Kit and Clowder. They are really wonderful. In just the first couple of lessons my colouring improved so much! Once you buy them you can do them at your own pace and the help and feedback along the way is brilliant. I started with the Skin & Hair class but then didn't want to colour the rest of the image in case I messed it up, so I then bought the Clothing class and I do a little of each. It has given me a great renewed interest in colouring stamped images. I would recommend them to anyone.
I am also enrolled in several of the classes at Kit and Clowder. I love that they are self-paced, but also provide one on one feedback. Feedback is invaluable as you try to learn this skill. So often we look at our own work with an overly critical eye. It is great to have someone else look at it and offer encouragement as well as point out areas that may need improvement. Alyce is always encouraging even when pointing out areas that need practice. In addition to being self-paced, you have lifetime access to the class material. That is a huge benefit. The videos can also be downloaded so you can watch them on the go. The clothing class is extremely detailed and has 39 videos! Alyce covers so many types of folds and pleats! (The animal class has even more!) In comparison, Copic is now providing a clothing coloring class that costs $99, is only a few hours and is available in limited locations. When you run the U.S. conversion, the classes at Kit and Clowder are a bargain!! And access to the materials forever make them priceless in my opinion!
The classes at Kit & Clowder are awesome! It's definitely worth the money, and to be honest, I think taking any kind of art class is going to cost you a lot more than Alyce's classes and you get to do them at your own pace, which is a bonus for me.
I also bought the skin and hair class. It is pretty amazing how much information Alyce gives you!! I printed all the pages out and its like a book!! LOL There is also great videos!! You get to work at your own pace. You can upload your practicing and get some helpful feedback. It is worth every penny!! Then there is Alyce...she is such a sweet, talented girl. So very helpful. I honestly can't say enough good things about her classes!
I love the classes here as well. I have signed up for 2- one I have not started yet. The video's are fab and you can work at your own pace. I am working on skin and hair and next- coloring/shading clothes. There is a group to upload your projects and get constructive criticism..... It is amazing how quickly your skin tones will look better- still working on the hair. The Distress Markers class will be next.... : )
I would highly recommend these classes.... Alyce is a brilliant teacher... I have even surprised myself what I have been able to do.... Never would without her classes
I have done many Copic classes even the copic certification classes, but Alyce's colouring is far superior. I've also nearly thrown away 260 of them until I started doing Alyce's classes. I'm a slow learner, but definitely improving. And at my own pace...
I've been certified in the regular Copic and intermediate Copic classes, as well as take a few other online classes, and have to say Alyce Keegan's classes through Kit and Clowder are amazing ... Well worth every penny you spend. She has skin/hair, clothing, a fabulous new animal class, as well as other project classes. They're all amazing. Alyce explains everything she does, and why she does it ... All her classes are geared towards the alcohol based markers (Copic, Spectrum Noir, etc.), and there's a distress ink class ... Soon to be a colored pencil class. Go to kitandclowder.ning.com for more information.
I'm taking the skin and hair and the clothes classes. I love it. She's also on facebook. She is great. I have read a few lessons and applied it to my coloring and it is getting better.
