What would you like to learn?
 Painting, Drawing, Printmaking?
I created this website, Free Online Art Classes, from my experience as an art instructor for over fifty years. This website is an ever-expanding series of step-by-step art lessons and videos that I have created in many art subjects: including Painting, Drawing, Collage, Oil Pastels, Colored Pencils, Conte Crayon, Printmaking, Finding The Artist Within, and much more. And, indeed, all of this wonderful instruction is FREE to you.
Colored pencils are amazing! Above is my recent drawing, "November Afternoon" You can learn how to draw with colored pencils. Just click on "Learn Colored Pencils" on the left.
At Free Online Art Classes you will find information-rich art instruction presented in the simple, step-by-step format I have developed from over fifty years of art teaching experience which has proven to be successful for my students. For many of the lessons, I have created videos as well, to show you exactly how to develop the basic techniques you will need to master the artistic skills you want to develop. The art instruction pages contain links to those videos.
Beyond art, I also am very much into cooking and talking about my cookbook, "Pop It In The Toaster Oven." Recent videos on my cooking and art demonstrations,are at Artful Cooking Blog below! You can also find them on my YouTube Channel and there is so much information there as well! Free learning videos for art, cooking and living well! Be creative, live longer, be amazed and amazing!

There is a vast amount of knowledge here--knowledge that I have contributed from my 50 years experience as an artist and art instructor.

Also, you have access to over 150 of my information-rich art instruction YouTube videos that I have created over the past five years. Many subjects in painting, drawing, collage, printmaking and much more are covered AND of course, they are all free for you to access!! Just go to YouTube and type/search Lois DeWitt.

Thank you. I found you through a google search on collograph printing and saw your demonstration on youtube.com. I enjoyed your watercolor painting of the tree on there as well. I am from the Orlando Florida area.
Thanks again,

Hiya,
I found your sight through a simple Google search 'free oil pastel lessons'. I come from the south west of England and I am a teenager just starting out in the medium.
Thanks again for a wonderful free service,
Tom C.
I would love to elaborate. I am thinking about going back to school in the fall and I wanted to try my hand at something before going back. The degree I am considering allows for life experience and independent learning, such as this, to earn credit. Your site is wonderful and in my opinion very user friendly. I love it and intend to use it again in the future. Thank you for making learning accessible. If you would like to keep in touch with me for more information, maybe about how I am doing with your classes, please feel free.
Again, thank you.

Ms. DeWitt,
Thank you for the drawing with pencil and oil pastel video instruction. I live in Maryland and I was in a bind because my son's art teacher became ill in the last two weeks of class for the summer. I home school, so I googled free art classes on-line and found your website. We will be working on these lessons this week. They are having a great time with the doodling with pastels exercise. We plan on visiting some art museums next week to round out their introduction art experience.
Thanks again,
C Foster
