"Your online course is a wonderful blend of 21st century technology and learning techniques with traditional foundation instruction and a modern perspective. We're grateful for what you're doing. It's very exciting." —Dr. Nancie Schweikert, online student, Nashville, TN
24 WEEKS?! Here's how it worksAfter our first 8 weeks of intensive basics, you take an interim lesson with good content but no assignment work, plus we take a one week meeting break. This gives you a little breather without becoming disconnected and a chance to catch up if you need to. You need time to integrate! (You can thank me later.)
"I will never look at the world the same way again!"
    — Roberta Conroy, online student, Palm Springs, CA
No matter which course you take, I make absolutely sure that you are grounded on a solid foundation of the elements and principles of drawing and watercolor and that you start learning to see better. I help you see the world around you more clearly and yourself more clearly, too. I am not here to help you draw and paint like me. I am here to help you draw and paint like YOU. You'll learn that you can draw and watercolor unlike anybody else.
"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.

"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
The first 8 weeks of this transformation course are the same as the Open Up course.
Your foundation is the same.

So, why take the transformation course?

You save money, get more stuff, dig deeper and go farther.

This transformation course is for you if you're ready to commit to a course that will truly change your life.  I know that sounds like a tall order. You won't get rich or lose weight or find your true love — the change you experience comes from within.

In this course, you'll learn to recognize and strengthen your unique gifts. You'll become more confident in showing your work. You'll recognize blocks and negativity that are holding you back not only from creative activity but also in other areas of your life and learn to put them aside. Almost everything you learn in the drawing and watercolor process can be transferred to your experience in daily life.

You are who make this course great. One of the awesome things about this online course are the small groups of supportive course mates who are in the same boat as you. We share each other's development. You'll have compadres in a safe and secure environment. You'll get to know your course mates through their drawings, watercolors and voices. It's a really wonderful experience.
"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 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
