Skill levels
It’s a personal decision – there’s no test in art to determine what you’re able to handle. However, view the list on THIS page and it may help guide you through the five levels of classes here.
In each medium, there are “Jumpstart” classes (except in Drawing it’s called “101)….those are recommended to learn the foundations of application of the medium, color theory, and a little on shading.
- Copic Jumpstart
- Watercolor Jumpstart
- Colored Pencil Jumpstart
- Drawing 101
- Watercolor Pencil Jumpstart (coming soon!)
While prerequisites are not “policed” (ie we do not prevent purchases of higher level classes), it is recommended to take them in order. Terms, concepts, and art theory from beginner classes may be used in intermediate and advanced lessons, and won’t necessarily be explained again. If you take a higher level class and come upon ideas you want to learn, you can go back and take previous classes.
The plan is to have a progression of classes in each medium. Since this site was started in 2017, it’ll take a little while for that to be filled in but we’re getting there.
