I have taught art in real life for over 15 years & ran a
pilot version of the Exploring Drawing e-course with a group earlier this year, but this is the
first time it has run online as a commercial venture.
I can understand that some of you might be hesitant about signing
up. The first e-course that I joined as a participant took me around three
months to take the plunge & sign up for it. The May version of the course came and
went, and it was not until September that I signed up & paid.
I can appreciate your concerns as this is a new course. With this in mind, I have
made the decision to invite you to experience the first two weeks of the course
free and without obligation. Of course, I hope that you will then want to
continue with the rest of the classes.
Everyone, who then signs up for the course, will be offered the
opportunity to exhibit a selection of their work in The Watercolour Journals online
gallery. As an added bonus I will be extending the opening of the gallery to
cover the holiday & New Year period, so that you can invite your friends
& family to view your work there too.
You may have been promising yourself that one day you will give
yourself the opportunity to develop your artistic potential. I would like to
invite you to take the first step toward that by joining me for the first two
weeks (and beyond) of Exploring Drawing.
Best wishes
Erica
P.S. The course begins on the 15th October & this invitation will be open for two weeks. You will still have access to the whole course even if you join after the 15th.
What supplies do we need for the course?
ReplyDeleteFor the first two weeks you will need:

You may also wish to have a hard or putty eraser
