FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I can’t draw?
You do not have to be able to draw. I supply you with the line drawing image so you can trace it directly onto your watercolor paper.
Do I need any prior experience in painting to take your courses?
You do not need prior experience. I walk you through each course, step by step, with in-depth instruction.
Are the courses self-paced or scheduled at specific times?
They are self paced. You will find that I break each course down into workable time periods. Giving you breaks between courses so you can move as fast as you choose.
What makes your watercolor painting courses unique or different from others?
I explain the how, why and when, for all the techniques I use in my courses. I don’t bombard you with a lot of colors to have for each painting. You will use a limited amount of colors with each course. This makes the process easier for people who do not have a lot of supplies, and it helps you to have a better understanding of how to mix colors on your palette and on your paper.

What do I need to get started with watercolor painting?
There are few supplies you will need to get started. A minimum of three primary colors. I recommend, Nickel Azo Yellow, M. Graham, Quinacridone Rose, M. Graham, and Phthalo Blue (red shade) M. Graham. Watercolor Brushes, sizes 0-2-4-6-8, SilverWhite brushes are an affordable brand, and watercolor paper, 300 lb, cold press, Arches or Fabriano Artistico. It is a good idea to have transfer paper as well.
