The waiting is over . . .
Hundreds of people have reached out to Tiffany and Wendy over the past two years, wondering if Tiffany's Fodder School 1 course was available as a solo course. We can finally say "YES!"
There are many options for making your Fodder Keeper. Each step of the process has been broken down and a video of each option is available. Also, feel free to experiment with adding your own style or options to make your Fodder Keeper even more unique and personal!
A Word from Tiffany . . .
“I’m so excited to start with my favorite thing - watercolor! In the fodder making videos, my main goal is to slow down the process so that you can create along with me. I would love it if you took a moment during each video to hit pause, gather your supplies, and join me in creating something together. It’s okay if it doesn't look perfect the first time, I demonstrate techniques many times, and you can watch the videos as many times as you would like. Don’t worry about wasting paper or paint as you practice, those practice pieces are perfect for the bonus lessons! I can’t wait to see what you create!”
