Academy - your questions answered :) (Patreon)

In my own unique way I have managed to confuse many of you again lol! 

Hopefully this post will help you to understand how the academy will work.

I currently have four tiers in Patreon £5, £10, £20 and £35

When the Academy first launches, it will only launch to people who are currently members of my Patreon on any of the tiers. The Top two tiers £20 and £35 will disappear from Patreon at that point - so there will only be two tiers available - the £5 and £10.

The Top two tiers £20 and £35 will both move across to the Academy - for those who pay monthly it will be as easy as cancelling patreon and joining the Academy Membership, for those with a yearly subscription I will be in touch separately with a separate password so you have access but aren't paying twice.

For those members on the £5 and £10 tiers if you would like to join you can do so at the same time. The cost for everyone in this initial founding member launch is £20. If you are a monthly member you just cancel your subscription with my Patreon and join the Academy membership. If you have an annual subscription you will receive instructions as to how many months you'll receive free until your annual membership is paid, and then you can either opt to buy another annual membership in the Academy or pay monthly.

When you become a member of the Academy Membership you will receive everything you get in Patreon plus an in-depth course (Coloured Pencil Foundations), you will go through a series of questions to determine where you are on your journey and pointers to the things that will help you develop. There will be more live events including art club and live draws specifically for beginners, plus confidence and coaching sessions.

You'll have access to a full calendar of monthly events which you can pick and choose from - there will only be one tier in this phase, so they are open to all. 

The date of launch has moved to September due to me being out of my studio for longer than expected. But don't worry you will all receive loads of warning about when and how to move across.

£20 will be what you pay for as long as you stay a member. When I launch to those outside Patreon it will be going up :)

I hope this helps - I do try and make things simple but I have a knack of over complicating things lol!
