Learning Method: What is the difference between an Online Course (Live or Self Paced), In Person Workshop/Class, Printable Lesson and Custom Class?

I strive to offer loads of different class types to best fit your needs, schedule and learning style! Here is a brief description of each type of class style I offer:

Online "Live" Course/Class: These classes are held online over Zoom. The classes are highly interactive where we talk through the topic together, then I have a video directly pointed at my art table so we can draw/paint/create together. I talk through the entire process step by step so you can follow along and ask questions or provide comments along the way. At the end I leave time to review students' artworks and answer any questions. (Note: Once the class is over, a video of the session is provided for the students to watch at their own pace.)
Online "Self Paced" Course/Class: These classes are taught online via downloadable materials (like templates, step by step sheets, background material) as well as through videos where you can follow along to learn how to create the artwork/illustration. I welcome email 1:1 email communication if a student has questions or would like me to review their work.
In Person Workshop or Class: These classes are held at a specific, physical location at a specific date and time. They are highly interactive and I strive to work with each individual student to help them with their creative projects.
Printable Lesson: These lessons are taught via downloadable materials such as background information, step by step drawings, templates and other downloadable material.
Custom Classes/Workshops: I love to cater my classes specifically to your event. These classes are truly one-of-a-kind and highly engaging and interactive. They can be offered online or in person depending on the situation.

Learning Method: Which type of class (online, workshop, printable) is best for me?

The answer to this question is a personal one. I strive to make all my classes engaging, and interactive, regardless of whether it is online or in person. To figure out which type is best for you, be sure to read the details under each class to understand the requirements. Here are things to consider:

art difficulty level
art supply requirement
technical savviness (online classes are great for those who are comfortable watching videos, accessing Zoom, downloading materials, clicking links, etc.)

Free Art Class? Tell me more!

I love making all kinds of art and inspiring others to discover their creative side. My free classes are the perfect way to introduce you to my teaching style and topics to get you on your way. For more information, see my Free Class web page for upcoming classes.

All Classes: What is included in the purchase price?

I strive to make each class unique and interesting. In doing so, each class includes a wide range of varied materials and lessons depending on the topic. Be sure to look at each class page and review the "What's Included" section so you can see what you get for the price of a specific class.

Printable Lesson: What is a printable lesson and how do I use it?

Printable Lessons are a fun and easy way to create art at your own pace. Once purchased, you are able to download material such as step by step instructions to creating your own artwork.

Art Supplies: Are art supplies included in the course?

Art supplies are NOT included with the purchase of a course. Each class may have different art supply requirements (under each class is a list of suggested art supplies). If you don't own the exact art supplies, not to worry. Many classes allow you to experiment with a wide variety of mediums if you desire.

Art Supplies: What art supplies do I need?

Each class or lesson will specify the exact art supplies I use to create the art work. Of course, you can easily create the same project using different art medium if you'd like! The most common art supplies I use are: a black pen, water colors, water brush, water color paper, and a white gel pen.

Art Supplies: Do you have recommendations on what art supplies to buy?

Here is a link that outlines some of my favorite art supplies that I commonly use in my classes:

I do sometimes vary my supplies, and will list the ones I am using in the "Art Supply List" under each class description.

I get it! You may have lots of questions about embarking on your art journey and want to make sure a specific course or class is right for you. Feel free to email me your questions, I'd be happy to help get you started.

How do I buy a course/classs/printable?

Buying a course, class or printable is as simple as finding the right one, reading the description and selecting the "Buy" button and following the instructions to entering your payment information. Once your payment has gone through, you will receive an email and details regarding your class including available materials (as applicable per course).

My classes are hosted on a secure online service called Podia that handles all the transactions/payments and hosting of course material.

How will I get my class materials?

Refund Policy

I am not able to make the "live" class or workshop and want a refund. How can I get one?

If you can't make a "live" online class due to conflicts, no worries, a recording of the class will be provided 24 hours following the time the class was held, so you won't miss out on anything.

I've paid for an in person class, but can't make the time and want a refund.

Things do come up and schedules change. If you paid for a class and can no longer attend, feel free to email me the details so we can arrange a refund.

How can I get a refund for a class I have purchased.

In general, I do not offer refunds after you have purchased a class (online, in person, or printable). If you have purchased a class in error or there is a mistake of some sort, contact me within 3 business days of purchase to discuss the details.
