Dearest Alyce,

 My "after" image for the skin and hair class is called "Bird Talk", and is by Mo Manning. It was actually chosen to appear on a card made by Karen Burniston!! :-) It appears second.   My beginning image was a Tiddly Inks image of a little girl and boy for Valentines Day.  What at the difference!!!  Thank you so much for your amazing class, for sharing your talents with us, and for your never ending patience. You are an inspiration to all of us and your encouragement keeps us going.  

Love and hugs, Becky

Oops put these pics in the wrong place but here they are.. I cannot thank Alyce enough for her encouragement and knowledge. We are so blessed by her gift to all of us - to explore our potential and to have a place to go to lose ourselves in creativity! xxx

I just have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed this class.  I have learned so much and have gotten over my fear of using color!  Alyce has a way about her in teaching and in her suggestions on what improvements I can do or how to look at techniques in a way that makes sense. I highly suggest taking this class to improve your coloring and to improve your confidence.   :)  sharla~

My review...wow where to start?? Alyce of Kit and Clowder has enhanced my colouring journey far more than I thought I was capable of achieving. Her kind, patient, professional way has lifted my confidence to new heights, I use to look at an image I wanted to colour and started from a place of fear of not being capable, now I don't doubt myself with anything I want to colour. She has helped create in me the fun of a challenge and overcoming what before seemed the impossible. Alyce has put her heart into developing this teaching program and I believed to succeed I would have to put in the equivalent in effort and practice, practice and more practice. Before starting the class I purchased an image I really would have loved to be able to colour beautifully but knew I couldn't, so I gave it my best and tucked it away, refusing to look at it till I felt confident about actually colouring it in a way I wanted to be able to. This is my before the class colouring of “Orchard” by Saturated Canar

This is from when I just had purchased my copics after trying out promarkers and then distress which I did not like.
This is one of my very first goes with them, aaand I can say that I did not know how to use them at all! Lol :P

After this AMAZING class, I finally know how to use my copics and get that depth and structure in my coloring. I'm so sooo happy I took this class! 
I've really learned a lot throughout the excerises. They cover EVERYTHING so I don't feel like there's something missing :) 

It's great to have videos to watch instead of just reading. It's totally different to watch something from just reading about it and in a good way. I've colored along on my excersises to many of the videos.

Alyce is the BEST teacher ever! :)
If you haven't bought the class yet, DO IT NOW! You won't regret it, I promise. 

Can't believe how much better my skin and hair is since doing Alyce's classes. I have really enjoyed taking the class and found them really interesting. I learnt lots about light source and blending with my pens. Also really enjoyed learning how to do the flicks for hair even though it was very challenging. Alyce gives wonderful advice and tutorials and one to one feedback is so helpful. Completely loved the learning experience and am now continuing my practicing. Thank you xx

These are my before and after. What have I learned a lot. Especially the cast shadow. What is it that much more beautiful !! And Alyce is a great teacher. Always there for you. My english is not so good, so I can not express myself well. But I think it's a must for anyone who wants to get better colouring. What can I say ??? I am very happy that I have followed the course !!!

I don't know why my before pic not appeared. But here it is! Lol
I am struggle with my colouring. I search youtube and learn nothing. Them i stumbled on one of alyce quick video..and really impressed! Stalked her on mr.google, and found her on facebook. Heaven smile to me when she is doing an online class..i immediately sign up and it was amazing! There are pdf tutorial, exercises, videos and even one on one feedback with alyce herself! I really recommend her class to any beginners out there. I inserted my before image, and after the lesson in 2014. The red haired is coloured just a week ago. It is interesting how you can keep on learning from alyce. Can not wait for the renewal class. It must be awesome! I already got my clothing class, mermaid class, mix media class, and create learn class. I just need my baby get bigger so i can concentrate on the classes whew!! ^^
This class was amazing. My main goal was to learn to use my Copics. I learned that and them some. I learned about the coloring community and how its really there for you no matter what. Alyce's feedback is right on and detailed, it really made a difference in my learning. The most important part is to practice, practice, practice! I love coloring now more than ever! I look now at some of my images and say: "Wow, I did that!!!" Thanks for an awesome learning experience, and a fun and respectful environment.

 This has been the most fun I have had in a long time. I spent the better part of my summer coloring lol. I love it. Also, seeing what others have done in the classes have inspired me to get better. Thanks Alyce for making this all possible with your great classes. Now onto the clothing class..

2284321?profile=RESIZE_1024x10242284917?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024My before (top) and after photos for the skin and hair class. I was always quite happy with my colouring until I discovered Alyce's classes. I have learnt so much from this class and the proof is in the before and after photos. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the class and was really pleased with the feedback from Alyce. She really guides you along the right path to getting better coloured images and I also learnt a lot about lightsource, cast shadows and so on. I will now get onto the clothing class so that the clothes on my images look as good as the skin and hair. Thanks so much for the class Alyce. It is absolutely brilliant and anyone even thinking of colouring with alcohol markers should do this class.

2284206?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024Here are my before and after pics from the skin and hair class that Alyce helped me tremendously to get through. More than once I was ready to give in but so glad I persevered and made it through to the end. I can't believe the difference it has made to my colouring. I would recommend this class to anyone who is thinking of having a go at colouring. Alyce you are a star for helping me through and I promise to keep practicing. Guess it's the clothing class next.

Thank you Alyce

I must say that I started out thinking I was a pretty good colourist but honestly looking at my befor and after wow. Alyce is patient, helpful and honest when it comes to our work. She tells you what you can't or won't tell your self. I truly love taking this class and would highly recommend it to anyone that would like to improve. I don't make things often with my art but I love to colour and has been a great experience. Alyce thank you so much for everything over this whole journey.

OK, I am first to admit I am heavy handed on the color, but if Alyce can make a believer out of me then she can certainly work with any beginner. The course is easy to follow and you receive quick and honest feedback from an amazing teacher

 ( not to mention who doesn't love listening to that aussie accent?) I love that even when you graduate you have access to materials to keep practicing and to the videos whenever you need a refresher. Alyce is a deep well of knowledge that 

she is eager to share and my next goal is the clothing class!

Having just completed the Kit and Clowder Skin and Hair Class, I highly recommend it if you’re looking to improve your skills or just beginning with copics.  Alyce is an amazing and generous teacher who supplies you with honest and constructive feedback.  She is happy to share her amazing wealth of knowledge and talent with others.  Her tutorial notes and videos are very informative and easy to follow.   I really love that I always have access to the tutorials and videos, if I ever need a refresher I can just pop back and watch them again.  It also means there is no time limit to complete the class; which is good because it took me 8 months to complete mine.  Thank you Alyce for your wonderful tuition.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your class and I’ve learnt a lot too.

WOW! I didn't realise how much I had learned until I compared my own before and after pictures. I am absolutely amazed.I cannot recommend Alyce and her classes enough. The quality of the course materials and video tutorials is unrivaled, but, and I think more importantly, the quality of Alyce as a teacher and friend is to such a high standard! Alyce is always there to coach and tutor you when you need it, she gives one on one personal feedback and advice which is invaluable.If you are considering taking a class then do it! You will learn so much, I know I'm going to be taking more :-)Thank you so much Alyce!

Thank you Alyce for this AMAZING class. I have learned so much information from the Hair and Skin and the Lightsource classes. My coloring has improved so much during these lessons and your feedback has been so helpful! I appreciate how you are always so positive- even when telling me what I am doing wrong. I am not quite a "flick master" yet, but I am getting there. I am now able to color images that I never would have attempted and I get so many wonderful compliments on my work now. Looking forward to more great classes and experiences with you and Kit and Clowder!
