FAQ

  • How long will I have access to this course?

    You will have unlimited access to this course. You may stop and start as often as you like, and you are able to refer back to lessons at any time in order to refresh your memory.

  • DO I have to purchase a specially prepared icon board?

    No, it is fine to practice using watercolor paper until you are confident enough to begin using a specially prepared board. It is suggested that you purchase a product called "easy Gesso" from natural pigments .com for your first time gessoing watercolor paper or boards.

  • Can I gesso my own boards?

    Yes, you need to make natural gesso which is more absorbent and therefore better for egg tempera than acrylic gesso. Here is a link to Christine's website/blog on how to gesso icon boards that will tell you all you need to know:https://newchristianicons.com/newsletter1/2023/11/6/how-to-gesso-icon-boards
