Frequently Asked Question
When does the course begin and end?
You can start at any time. On the day that you register, you will be able to access your first segment. The course is divided over 12 weeks. Lessons will be available every three to four working days. You can set your own schedule and work at the pace you prefer. The majority of students learn each lesson in the order it is given to them. However, there are no time limits or deadlines and no pressure to complete lessons before the next lesson.
How do I know when a lesson has been opened?
Lessons are open three to four times per week. As each segment opens, an automated email is sent.
Can I get immediate access to all segments of the class?
Sorry, but no. This class is deliberately divided over twelve weeks. I have found that too many information overloads can be detrimental to learning. Slowly releasing information allows you to digest and practice the material. Be patient. It takes more than passion to learn. It also requires patience.
How long can I access the course?
Access for life! Each segment will open to you and you have unlimited access for as long as it takes – across all your devices.
What skills is this class requiring?
This class is for intermediate and beginner colorists. No drawing skills required. A little bit of coloring experience is necessary, not only with colored pencils but also with markers or watercoloring with stampinks. For more information, email [email protected] Email [email protected]
What am I allowed to do with the Colored Pencil Plus Forums?
Forums are required for you to submit your projects to receive feedback and critique. The CP Plus The benefits of forums are obvious. You can interact with other students working on the same project as you or who have already completed the project and can offer their advice. Learning from your instructor is as important as learning from each other.
What type of images will you be coloring?
This class is 100% about botanical images – flowers, succulents and greenery. The images are kept secret until the week before the lesson debut to preserve the surprise for my first students. You can use all images in a variety of ways, from cards to framable art to digital stamps.
According to the supply list, Prismacolor Premier Pencils must be used. Can I use a different brand?
Prismacolor Premier pencils are used in this class because they are my favorite investment for beginning colorists who don’t know if they want colored pencils to last. There are many other artist grade pencils, but they are much more costly and lack the qualities that are needed by cardmakers or colorists. If you need to substitute, I recommend that you use a wax-based pencil instead of an oil-based pencil (Luminance rather than Polychromos). Prismacolor numbers and characteristics will be mentioned in the course. If you need to substitute, you will need to locate a reliable converter chart. You should note that colors may vary across lines. Your brand might not be a good match for Prismacolor. You should not use student grade pencils such as Crayola and Prang, Rose Art or Artist’s Loft, Prima, Sargent or Staedtler. Also not recommended: Derwent Colorsoft, Derwent Studio, or Faber-Castell Soft Lead.
What happens if I have different sized Prismacolor Premier Pencils
The set of 72 colors will be used, although not all. You might want to keep the missing colors open stock if your set is smaller. I will post each week a list of pencils for you to use the following week. This will give you ample time to purchase any missing colors. You’re good to go if you have a bigger set.
What is the “watermedia” What colors and for what purpose?
Watermedia is my base for creating bold, vibrant colors without using solvents or blender pencils. Do not worry about watermedia. It is technically optional and will not be added until week 3, after I have had an opportunity to explain it.
What happens if I’m unhappy with the course?
I wouldn’t want you to be unhappy. You can return your item if you are not satisfied within the first 30 days.
