Online workshop: self-directed painting or drawing

This online art workshop brings you in contact with an experienced artist for individual guidance in painting or drawing. Based on previously completed work, you plan how you want to improve in a specific area. You may want to concentrate on a particular medium: watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastels, oil pastels, pencil, etc. Or you may want to develop your drawing skills, understanding of color and color theory, painting techniques or composition. You might focus on a particular genre, such as landscape, still life, narrative, figure or abstraction. Artwork may be submitted by regular mail or online. You receive feedback on the initial portfolio, plus four contacts on works in progress. Work at your own pace and take up to a year to finish. You will earn 3.0 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) when you complete this online art course.

Who this course is for:

*All levels of artists—novice through experienced.
