Results of that mini-class poll!

Jan 04, 2011 14:52

You all may remember that I put up a poll here on what self-directed mini-classes people would be most interested in--I put polls up elsewhere too, including the class I just finished teaching on Drawing and Sketching. (I also did a second poll with a few things I'd forgotten...I DO teach watercolor, for Pete's sake!

And I'd forgotten to add ( Read more... )

classes, mini-classes

kate, the idea of mini classes for me being at home and learning myself would be wonderful. When and where are the clases or when will they start. These classes mean alot I know there are not classes in my area for journaling or anything I want to take and the classes that they do have are high priced and are in the evening and I do not have tranpertation so I thank you so for thinking of these classes it would mean alot for someone like myself who wants to learn.

Linda, I think they'll meet a lot of peoples' needs, glad you like the idea! They're not finished or up yet, as I said I'm working out some of the technical issues, but the Quick Sketching one may start sometime this month, barring other complications!

Watercolor Pencil Workshop CD vs Watercolor Magic Book anonymous January 9 2011, 22:15:27 UTC

Hi Cathy,
So happy I found your site.
After decades of procrastination about really learning to draw, I finally picked up a pencil and started some free on-line lessons last month. I'm wanting to transition into watercolors and figured the WC pencils just might do the trick.
I was thinking about purchasing your "out of print" WC Magic book but found you now have a CD on the subject as well.
Since I'm very limited on funds, and can't purchase both at this time, I'd like know if the CD includes all the text and tips from the original book, or does the CD kind of start from a place assuming the reader has some experience with WC pencils. I would really appreciate your input to help me make a choice.
I LOVE your site an work, and would love to take one of your classes one day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us; and best wishes for the new year.
JJ

Hi, JJ, and thanks for the good wishes.

Actually, when the book was allowed to go out of print, I did the CD from the original manuscript, adding even more art that there was room for in the book. I added back in a chapter that had been cut for space reasons, and cut a wee bit, as I recall, so I could use the CD as a text for my online classes--we usually do 6 lessons. For the most part, though, it's the same info as the book but enriched somewhat.

Hope that helps!
