Online Classes

Our popular online classes are open to students of all experience levels.  We have been teaching online classes for over ten years years and deliver personalized high quality instruction in an online format. These four and six week and two day classes are offered as virtual online learning opportunities.  They are designed to provide a complete learning experience at a slower, more measured pace and without the added expense of travel and lodging. 

We offer a full curriculum of classes covering foundational topics such as drawing, values composition and color as well as intermediate classes focused on painting particular elements in the landscape like skies, water and trees and also more advanced classes that include indirect painting techniques, training visual memory and working from imagination. We also offer three art history for artist classes that cover the history of  19^th century American and European landscape painting.

Online classes include:

• The Class Blog. The class is centered around a private blog, accessible only by class participants. Classes are a great interactive learning experience with the class blog functioning as an online studio and classroom where students can interact with one another and the instructor. Class material is delivered by written lecture, images and video. Students post their work for comment and critique throughout the class. The instructor responds to questions and work posted for comment and critique on a daily basis. 
• Video demos are available for students to view for up to one year following the end of each class.
• Students also receive a PDF of all class notes and materials posted by the instructor.
• Zoom video conferences for discussion, critique and demonstration. Students can view and download the Zoom conferences to their own device.
• Upon registration, you will receive a Materials & Reading List for your class.
