Testimonials
Hamida Arezowyee, Rosenheim, Germany
I am so happy about this course. I love watercolour pencils and have lots of them always dreaming to use them but could not find anything like this wonderfully structured approach as the course offers. So they laid in the storage room .... waiting for Hamida finding Michele's course to follow😀
Sabrina Ceraolo, California, USA
I appreciate how Michele breaks down the steps and makes them relatable, so I paid for the more detailed watercolor pencils course and am happy I did. They provide a more detailed look at how versatile this medium is and the techniques used
Natacha Umar, Spain
I just finished the last of eight watercolour pencil flowers from Michele Webber's course, plus the Calla Lily 😁 I've had watercolour pencils sitting in my cupboard for years not knowing how best to use them so I dived in and took the course. Brilliant instruction. Yes there were times I thought I can't do it, the brush would be painting colour off (come on woman, get a grip!), and dare I try some backgrounds? Yes! Why not, just do it! and at the end I like how they all look together, such happy colours 😊 Thank you Michele. I am now inspired to find some local flowers to watercolour pencil paint 🙂
Work by one of my students!
Natacha Umar created these beautiful flowers and you can too!
Every student creates a slightly different result because we all have our own personalities, you can take these projects and make them your own.
Each flower 'module' contains full tutorial video (approx 30 mins), a downloadable source photo and an illustrated step by step tutorial to accompany the video.
Access and Log in Guide (IMPORTANT! Download and save it to your PC - I get more emails about log in issues than anything else, this will get you back into your course!)
Although Michele is English, the Thinkific site is American, and about 60% of her online students are American. But people take her courses from all over the world and you can pay with any currency!
How much is the course in British pounds or other currency?
The exchange rate changes every day but you can get a rough idea by putting the question into Google. There may be slight variations depending on which conversion metrics the Thinkific site is using but you can certainly get a good idea of the approximate price. Remember to do this on the same day you intend to buy the course. When you buy Thinkific will automatically convert the price to charge you the right amount of money for your local currency.
What if I don't have Paypal?
Paypal is just the method by which the site receives payment, you can pay with your usual credit or debit card.
What flowers will we paint in the course?
The course includes: English Bluebells, white Rose, purple and yellow Pansy, red Poppy, Daisy, orange Lily, bi-color Daffodil and Hydrangea
What materials will I need to buy?
If you already have paper, watercolor pencils and brushes you may not need to buy anything. I will not be insisting you have exact colors and brands. However, there will be a video and downloadable PDF with tons of advice and links to suggested materials so you can choose what to buy if you don’t have anything.
How is the course structured?
There are 8 modules each with a full video tutorial, and two downloadable PDFs. The first PDF is an illustrated step by step of the technique taught in the video, it also includes additional tips and troubleshooting to help you figure out any issues you are having. The second PDF gives you a copyright free photograph to work from.
What support will I get?
In addition to email access to Michele, there is a dedicated Facebook group, just for students of Michele’s Thinkific courses, where you can compare results and get advice alongside other students. If you have any access or log in issues or trouble understanding how to navigate the site you can also request a special PDF guide that will make everything clear. The PDF guide is in your course, if you have lost access it is also in the Facebook group or you can simply email Michele for a copy.
How long will I have access to the course for?
After you buy the course you have lifetime access, you can take the course at your leisure and re-visit any of the modules you like. Plus you will automatically have access to any additional content or upgrades that are added at a later date.
What about after the course?
In addition to the 8 modules there are bonus materials including another flower, backgrounds and many more videos about using watercolor pencils. The skills you learn can be used in other subjects, or if you choose, used alongside watercolor paints.
