One of my biggest goals this year is to update my Watercolor Essential course. The course is almost 3 years old. And from the past 3 years, I grew as an artist, an instructor, as well as a video maker. I want my course to reflect that. So earlier this year I decided to do a complete revamp of my course. I re-record most of the lessons. I also designed and plan to replace some of the exercises to make it easier to follow and less overwhelming.
My original plan is to re-release the course after I updated everything. While all of the students who already purchased the course can still access it. I tried really hard this past summer, but I wasn’t able to finish what I was set out to do. Aside from the amount of the works it will take, I was also undergoing a big move. In the end, I was able to get a lot of recording done, but there is much editing work to do. Know I wasn’t able to finish update the course by crunching, I put off my relaunch until next year. The idea of early access came to my mind when some students asked me if they can just enroll in the current course. Since all the students will be getting the new updates for free, they don’t mind going through the old materials. As much as I wanted to, I resist the idea to release an “unfinished” product. However, a few days ago I saw a comment left by one of my current students on my YouTube video.
“Your course is still the best on the web and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you continually updating it.”
That came completely unexpected, and I was overwhelmed with encouragement. Now, I don’t know if my current course is truly the best on the web. But I sure won’t argue with Carolanne about how she feels. 🙂 Therefore, I decided to open my course for early access next weekend (11/8). I believe I will have enough updates for the course to make it good enough. I am still planning to update everything by early 2020. However, I will no longer stop anyone from enrolling in the course if they wish to start early! The early enrollment price is $199. Once I completely update the course, the price will go up permanently. This is to thank you for supporting me and your willingness to take action early. Once again, if you are a current student, you will be getting all the updates for free, so you don’t have to do a thing!
Stay tuned for more updates next week and keep an eye on your inbox!
