Zoom, Discord, workshop and demo - poll!
Added 2020-09-24 16:56:58 +0000 UTCHere's where you weigh in! I've put in a lot of options of things I can think of for the future. I would love your input before I decide on the exact specifics, but I've already included the price ranges I'm thinking about, so you can better decide whether these things would be for you. I'm thinking about using Jitsi as an alternative for Zoom (it's easier and doesn't need a login).
Here's some details about the possibilities I've thought up (the poll options don't allow much text).
Please note: Patreon will soon roll out different currencies for pledges. I plan to change $ to €, which will mean a slight increase for you. So it comes in handy that there'll be a content increase!
1 DISCORD - A regular text-based chat hangout. Topic suggestions might be a good idea. Time frame: About once a month, different time zones possible. Tier level: ~€5.
2. SKETCHBOOK TOURS on ZOOM - Let me walk you through some 15+ years of sketchbooks! Time frame: About once a month, different time zones possible. Tier level: ~€7-10.
3. LIVE SKETCHING on ZOOM - You drop me your sketch ideas, and watch me draw them (and possibly embarrass myself)! Time frame: About once or twice a month, around 6-7 pm CET. Tier level: ~€10-15. We could put the live sketching and sketchbook tours on the same pledge level, if there's a lot of interest for both, maybe in alternate months.
4. WORKSHOP - Getting down to business and learing about watercolour techniques. Only a handful of participants, for a fixed time. You'll get assignments, and we'll show results in class and give critiques and tips (meaning you photograph your work and I'll upload it for all participants to see). Time frame: About twice a month for two hours or so, for a period of about a few months, at a 6 pm-ish CET time slot, probably on a week day. Tier level: ~€40-50. If this happens, it would not start until January (when school gets quiet enough for me to manage a two-month workshop). And I'd have to see how I can handle the other session-things. :)
Please tick all that you'd be interested in seeing/joining!

I love all of these ideas--and am especially interested in the workshop. I am US, but daytime works much better with my schedule!

2020-09-25 17:09:06 +0000 UTCI'm aware of that, of course! Some things I could make work, but with my kids, school job and (remnants of) family life, I'm pretty restricted time-wise, to times when I know I can take two hours off and NOT be stressed out by two kids hitting each other in the other room, hee. Add the fact that my eyes are completely useless after 9 pm, so that's my utter, utter limit...

2020-09-24 17:12:51 +0000 UTCGreat ideas! I saw you mentioned before that a big percentage of your supporters are US-based. With the switch to Euro and these live events, please try to keep us in mind as you plan! Most of us would not be able to attend a live event held during the US workday. Even if you can't plan easily for the West Coast, the East Coast isn't that far off European time so it would be nice if you could occasionally do a later evening (your time) slot so that we could attend after work.
