We start at ground zero — where you are right now.
"I will never look at the world the same way again!"You don't need any technical experience. If you are reading this at your computer, you have your computer. If you have a digital camera (or a scanner) that can upload photos to your computer, and you have a telephone, you are good to go.
— Roberta Conroy, online student, Palm Springs, CA
"I'm such a face-to-face communicator, I never thought an online environment could be effective for teaching. I never thought I'd like the video format. But in your online course, I'm not distracted by extraneous things that would otherwise catch my attention. Even better, I don't have to drive anywhere!I teach you right up front how to become savvy enough technically to participate in this course. It's really easy. You will feel empowered. You'll also feel empowered as you develop your drawing and watercolor skills.
I feel like it's the benefit of private tutoring with the advantage of other students' work to look at. You've put together a really well-planned, well-thought out, beautifully presented product with tremendous depth and breadth.
I want to thank you for this class. I might have put off drawing for the rest of my life." — Susan Spak, online student, Storrs, CT
My courses are all about results. Your results. Your empowerment and growth.
"I look back at where I started with my first drawings and see how far I have come in such a short period of time. I really appreciate how you have fostered my growth and brought out of me a hidden talent. I feel transformed."I've created this course to make your empowerment and growth possible. It never ceases to amaze me how the simple act of putting pencil or pen to paper can open up a person to remarkable growth. Learning to work with watercolor opens you up more. That's why I call this 8-week course Open Up to Draw and Watercolor.
—Dr. Maureen Briggs, online student, San Luis Obispo, CA
You have to do work (and play) for this course and you have to create time to work and play. A lot of this course is about believing in yourself, investing in yourself, making a commitment to yourself.
"I was uncertain about the technical details of an online course and I am surprised at the successful way Suzanne has made everything seem easy. Suzanne's encouragement to each of us is very helpful and inspiring. Even when we are encountering technical problems, she is easily able to teach us how to resolve those problems.Are you ready to make a commitment to yourself? Drawing and watercolor can improve your life. If that seems like an exaggeration, all I can say is that it's true. I have seen the results in my students over and over again.
"This course has relaxed me in other areas of my life. Although I am still disciplined, I am now able to prioritize my homework assignments instead of procrastinating. Suzanne has taught me to "just do it!" I gathered up my courage and participated in an art show this past weekend and actually sold my first piece.
"I absolutely recommend this course to friends and colleagues, and have definitely learned more than I expected about drawing and seeing."
— Ellen Howard Bentz, online student, Johns Island, SC
Make this your year to say yes to yourself. Make it your intention to open yourself up as a creative instrument.
