Questions that you might have

Q: I would love to learn about Gouache but I don't have much time at hand.

Romica: Then this class is perfect for you. In just 15 minutes of Video lessons you can get a good overview on many topics, all researched and tested for you. No need to waste time on doing all the search on your own.

Q: I'm a beginner and have no experience with Gouache. Is this course for me?

Romica: This course is aimed at beginners to intermediate. Basic painting skills (how to use a paintbrush e.g.) would be good to have. I will not cover mixing colours but you will receive a cheat sheet PDF that will help you to make your first steps.

Q: You offer two options, which one would be better for me?

Romica: It depends how you like to work and what you want to get out of it:

  1. Option A - Course Only: If you rather learn alone: This option covers just the course and bonus content. It's perfect if you just want to do your own thing and do not want feedback nor access to the facebook group. The course works just the same. Lectures include Action Steps for your Project that help you to create your painting as you go. If you rather not want to interact or share your work then use those steps for your own development. This is for you - and you alone. If you want feedback or have questions about Gouache please enrol for "Option B: Special Bundle" to join our exclusive Facebook Group "Gouache for Illustrators".

  2. Option B - Special Bundle: Feedback & exclusive Facebook Group:
    This option is great if you want to be part of a community and receive feedback. You can communicate with me and others via an exclusive Facebook Group "Gouache for Illustrators". There you can also add your project and progress and ask any questions you have. Once you are enrolled, head over to facebook and request access to our exclusive facebook group "Gouache for Illustrators". As soon as you are accepted to the group (which could take up to 24 hours), you can interact with other members and get active. Please note that this is only possible for students enrolled in the course under "Option B: Special Bundle". For your personal feedback you will be able to send me an e-mail with your progress and final piece for me to give you personal feedback that is individually tailored to you. Please note: As this process can be very time consuming, this offer is limited to 1 E-Mail only which has to be requested within 6 months of buying the course.

Q: I don't own a Gouache set yet. Could you recommend one to me?

Romica: The quality of paint you need really depends on the projects you want to do. I personally use Winsor & Newton Introductory Set Designer Gouache. This set is the one I'm using in the course. It's affordable and a good start for beginners.

Q: How can I post my project and progress or ask questions?

Romica: There are two options:

  1. Option A - Course Only: If you rather learn alone: Lectures include Action Steps for your Project that help you to create your painting as you go. If you rather not want to interact or share your work then use those steps for your own development. This is for you - and you alone. If you want feedback or have questions about Gouache please enrol for "Option B: Special Bundle" to join our exclusive Facebook Group "Gouache for Illustrators".

  2. Option B - Special Bundle: Feedback & exclusive Facebook Group:

Once you are enrolled, head over to facebook and request access to our exclusive facebook group "Gouache for Illustrators".

Q: How can I get the most out of this focused and short course?

Romica: You can get the best experience if you take action. Even though reading and watching the course will provide you with enough knowledge to start painting, I really recommend that you read all the additional information and fulfil the action points. Just knowing is not enough, you need to do the work - but it's worth it.

  1. Option A - Course Only: If you rather work alone: As your progress is entirely up to you - take time to reflect about each step of your work. There is a whole section about this in the course. It is very important to be honest with yourself. See what you have done well and look at things that have to be improved. The more you practice the better you will be able to do so. You can also share your work with friends or family or in online forums to get feedback.

  2. Option B - Special Bundle: Feedback & exclusive Facebook Group:
    Share your process along the way. Then I you can interact with others in the group. This will help you understand the process and your learning experience will be more joyful and fruitful. There is no need to rush to a final result. For your personal feedback you will be able to send me an e-mail with your progress and final piece for me to give you personal feedback that is individually tailored to you. As this process can be very time consuming, this offer is limited to 1 E-Mail only which has to be requested within 6 months of buying the course.

Q: That sounds so awesome. How can I get started?

Romica: Enrol today let's stop searching and start painting. I see you soon ;)
