I signed up for an online class with Paulette Insall. I found her on the Creative Souls network created by the lovely Izabella. Sooooo glad to be a part of that network, really inspiring stuff there.
I have never taken a class online before~ hello wave of the future! I think of the super teachers I've met over the years who travel like crazy and how wonderful to be able to teach all over the world in video while staying at home. In the class we have painters from Austraila, Spain, England, Canada and of course all over the US. How fun to think that the Internet means we can all share Paulette's tips and painting instruction at the same time.
So basically you download a video clip, written guide and then share your progress in a flickr group and chat room. She gives feedback if you request it and addresses questions and comments on a blog for the class. **Have I mentioned I'm a huge fan** :)
The first class is a background class, I wanted to get my feet wet about the online class dealio
and so it has been a stress free kinda class for me. This is my progress;
Next month is the Portrait class that will be wonderful, I can't wait!!!!
