Do I have to be at my computer at a specific time?
The whole course is entirely self paced, meaning you don’t have to be anywhere at any given time to make it to the class. There are no specific times that you need to log in. You can log in whenever you want and have access to all lessons that have been posted. You can log in everyday or every other day or once a week. Either way, the content (and the community) will be ready to greet you! New content is posted during non-holiday weekdays but you can come and watch and read the content at anytime. I found it best to spread out content in manageable chucks which allows me to answer your questions! (one of the most useful aspects of my courses is being able to ASK me) Also, you can start the class at ANYTIME!!!!Can I watch it on my ipad? Do I need highspeed internet access? Can I download lessons?
You watch the videos right in the classroom, even if you are using an iPad or other mobile device!

What kinds of supplies will I need?
Supplies are the most important aspect of learning my watercolor techniques. I will go over every supply you need and in fact a pdf file with a complete shopping list is already in the course waiting for you! I will say that you will not get success using the pan watercolors or your granddaughter's crayola set...I recommend only artist grade tube watercolors. You may need to invest up to $100 in art supplies if you are starting from scratch, but watercolors last a long time, much longer than acrylics since they reconstitute with water... (oh wait, save all that for the class!)
Will I like the class? Is it worth it?
These are the questions you are asking yourself, I know. I take online classes too and whether I spend $15 or $250 I want to be sure that the class is worth my time and money! My promise to you is that I always under promise and over deliver. Here are just a few comments made by real students just like you in my other courses:Yay! I'm really glad I signed up for this class. ~Jill B.Thanks for your detailed comments Miriam - it really helps...Great advice! Maria M. I enjoyed painting this and really enjoy your teaching style.~ Marcia R.Enjoyed this, because I have never really understood how so very important the kind of paper you used is.~Veronica B.
