Helpful Tips

Hit the PAUSE BUTTON often!

Sharon doesn’t expect you to keep up with her pace. As a professional artist and teacher she is moving along at nice clip in order for you not to have to spend a lot of time listening to her.  She rather wants you to spend your time completing your project. So, listen to a small part (maybe only a minute), push pause and then work that section. It is very important for you to slowly and carefully complete the project. These projects are not meant to be completed in one setting except for the Beginner Level. A student should never complete more than one lesson in a day.

Use the Lesson Highlights section below to check your work. 

Look at the Lesson Highlight section after every video where you work on your project. These pictures show where you should be at the end of the corresponding video. Click on each photo to enlarge the picture as you check your work. If adjustments need to be made to your project, do it before proceeding to the next video.

Regarding Supplies:

The watercolor brushes needed are in the supply list. Please do not buy any brushes to use in the wax if you can avoid it. It is best to use old brushes you have on hand as they will be ruined for anything else after they have been dipped in wax. If your brushes have a plastic handle, do not let them sit in the hot wax as they can melt.

You can use any electric pot or frying pan to melt the wax. I love to use an electric fondue pot and they are very reasonable in price.

The wax that I have recommended from BlickU is already mixed so you don’t have to mix beeswax and paraffin. It is already done for you.
