Take an honest look at your Copic blending
Do you keep telling yourself that you’ll blend better when you find a better blending combination?
Or maybe you’ll blend better after a few more coloring classes?
For all the time we spend yakking about Copic Marker blending, it’s shocking how few classes teach actual blending.
Aren’t you tired of waiting to blend better someday?
A Real Blending Class?
Cute coloring classes are fun but they won’t get you very far.
How to color is not the same as how to blend
My name is Amy Shulke and I’m a professional illustrator with over 25 years of experience using alcohol markers. Add to that another dozen years teaching students at every level from complete newbie to advanced independent… yes, I’ve been doing this for a long time.
I’ve seen what works.
And I’ve seen a lot of stuff that doesn’t work.
I’m here to teach you how to blend.
The Blend is a 12 week course
New videos, tips, and blending challenges every week plus feedback and community support
$220 for lifetime access
(That’s just $18 per lesson and you’ll never worry about blending again)
This is not your average coloring class
The problem with coloring classes is that they’re coloring classes.
Coloring classes walk you step-by-step through how to color all the individual objects in the project.
Let’s color the dog
Let’s color his collar
Let’s color the tree behind him
Now we’ll color the sky
This is a coloring demonstration, not a blending lesson!

12 Weeks of blending instruction
Simple Shapes
Images are chosen for their simplicity. No overwhelming shapes or mile long supply lists. Focus on your blending rather than squeezing large marker nibs into small spaces.
Real Color
I’ll show you how to create original blending combinations for realistic results. No more searching the internet for the best marker combos. Finally feel confident picking your own colors!
No Limits
Ditch the standard blending formulas and learn to use the colors you see in photo references and the world around you. Light-medium-dark blending combinations can’t do this!
Every week adds new challenges to the previous blend
Level One
Learn the elements of good blending technique using a simple yet challenging blend.
Level Two
Modify the simple blend with other markers to make your own original blends!
Level Three
Shade with confidence. Use your simple blend in a logical way to improve shape.
Level Four
Try realism by adding an easy underpaint to your simple blend. You’ll love the results!
Weeks 5-8 repeat with a new image but the focus shifts to increasing efficiency and techical skill.
Weeks 8-12 introduce a challenge image with lessons designed to encourage artistic independence.
