Online Art Courses – are amazing!

Having taught live art classes for 25 years, and loved doing that, imagine my surprise to find out that people learn faster with video lessons.  Need something repeated? Easy. Plus your lessons are there 24/7 so you can watch them at the best time of day for you! Convenience is a big part of online art courses. Also nice – no more lugging heavy paints to classrooms. And that snow storm? Who cares. 🙂

There are also some very interactive venues available online. You don’t have to be alone. The Painters Creative is a fun and friendly art membership.
