As an art instructor for over thirty years, I decided to build Free Online Art Classes--an ever expanding series of information-rich, step-by-step lessons in the many art subjects: including Painting, Drawing, Collage, Oil Pastels, Colored Pencils, Printmaking, The Artist Within and more.

If you live in or around Wilmington, North Carolina, my local monthly art workshops are listed. Just click on the "Wilmington Classes" button.

Check out the Art Lessons by clicking on any of the buttons. What would YOU like to take? Painting? Drawing? They are FREE!! All you have to do is decide...

I have created many art demonstration videos to accompany the lessons and I also have compiled Dick Blick Art Kits--inexpensive, good quality art supplies you can easily order online--everything you will need for your Free Online Art Classes.

In addition, I offer my professional expertise and guidance. I am your personal art coach at no cost to you!

Please donate to Free Online Art Classes. I offer quality art instruction, easily accessible to you, with a minimum of advertising and would like to keep my website that way!
