“The extra time due to stay-at-home orders got me thinking…and I came up with a plan to spend the month of June developing online watercolor workshops.”
Equipment and support services:
• A licensed Zoom account,
• Logitech BRIO webcam
• Microphone headset
• second monitor for my laptop
• A 19″ ring light.
Preparation:
• Hours researching and rehearsing how to create the best possible, user-friendly virtual learning experience.
• Beta Test: I gathered a group of 20+ volunteers for free Zoom classes in June, giving me practice and feedback.
I’ve since taught several online classes and a two-day Negative Painting Workshop which were very well-received. A student from my recent zoom workshop had this to say:
“When I started watercolor painting 5 months ago… I never dreamed I could produce something like this. And u are absolutely right that learning to negative paint helps with all your painting! My work has been growing by leaps and bounds since I took your workshop.
Thx again! ~Cathy R”
