This is a beginner level coloring course and is suitable for:

• those who have never touched a colored pencil

• those with some pencil experience

• anyone who is unsure or unconfident about their pencil skills.

There is no pre-requisite for this course.

This is not a subscription. This is a one-time purchase. There will be no further billings.

Our course is hosted on Mighty Network and they want to prevent you from creating multiple accounts. The error shows for people who ALREADY have an account with us. Log into your existing account and use the internal PURCHASE page here.

Required Supplies:

• Smooth coloring surface with no texture and room to move. Your desk or dining room table will be perfect IF you can keep them cleared and clean.

• Strathmore 300 Bristol Board (yellow label), Smooth finish (not vellum)

• Laser printer or Copic-safe ink jet model (you can trace but it's time intensive and frustratingly finicky)

• 9 colors of alcohol marker (any brand, see link below for colors)

• Prismacolor Premier Soft Core colored pencils (NO SUBSTITUTIONS), about 30 specific colors but we recommend a large boxed set (150 is best but 72 + Amy's key colors will work)

See master supply list here but wait for specfic instructions INSIDE the course before purchase.

No. This class is designed for Prismacolor pencils and I absolutely will not offer feedback or advice on any other pencil brand-- even if I use and love the brand you're substituting.

Colored pencil substitution charts are WORTHLESS.

There's more to a colored pencil than the color. Two red pencils can match in color but be complete opposites in opacity, pigment load, laydown, and layerability.

Substitutions are part of the problem which brought you here. You can apply the class concepts to other brands after you finish the course with Prismacolor.

This is a beginner course and to be honest, at this point, you probably don't know enough about colored pencils to make good substitutions.

Adding to the confusion, Prismacolor makes several grades of colored pencils. They're not interchangeable.

Two similar colors can create very different effects. Every substitution adds another hurdle between you and learning proper blending technique.

Relax, my supply list is designed to use extremely versatile and popular colors favored by artists and instructors worldwide. Watch the lesson video first and see how I'm using the pencil before deciding to use a substitute color.

You have forever access to all course materials. Please note that realistically, "forever" means until I die or retire, whichever comes first.

You may keep the downloads for personal use.

See the Terms of Use PDF inside the Printables section of the course for legal info.

Relax, you have forever access to the course materials. There is no rush!

Work at your own pace, take vacations, handle family emergencies, and feed the kids when they're hungry. Do the assignments as you have time.

There is no prize for finishing first or even by week 12. I'd rather you slowly digest the materials because you'll understand them deeper and remember them longer.

This course does not guarantee personalized feedback directly from me.

I visit the forum often and comment whenever possible on a few projects here and there but The Point was designed to be more self-sufficient than my previous 12 week intensive courses.

I have several very kind and highly qualified forum administrators who comment in their own free time and I also encourage the community to offer support and opinion.

Both the course and our exclusive students-only discussion forum are housed on Mighty Networks, a safe and secure site which does not monitor our content or sell your information.

WE DO NOT USE FACEBOOK.

The forum is included in the course materials but you are not required to participate if you choose not to.

I do notice a correlation between a lack of participation and student growth potential. It's pretty darned handy to ask questions as they come up and get reliable advice when you're stuck.

Please note, due to the high volume of email I receive, I do not offer project feedback or answer coloring related questions via email. All communications must take place in the forum.

This course is designed for adults, not children or young teenagers. I speak in the videos at an adult level and I assume the audience has basic adult skills and life experience. Plus, I've been known to accidentally say humorous things I wouldn't want your child to repeat at the dinner table. We're not vulgar or obscene but this is an adult environment. Please do not purchase this course for anyone under 16 years old.

Sorry but no, you must be logged into your account to view the videos.

Due to digital nature of this product and the large amount of information you are given access to, we only offer a partial refund if contacted within 5 days of purchase.

Please contact us at info@vanillaarts.com to begin the refund process. After that, no refunds will be considered.
