Painting, Drawing, Printmaking?

I created this website, Free Online Art Classes, from my experience as an art instructor for over thirty years. It is an ever-expanding series of step-by-step art lessons in many art subjects: including Painting, Drawing, Collage, Oil Pastels, Colored Pencils, Conte Crayon, Printmaking, Finding The Artist Within, and much more.

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 thirty years art teaching experience and which has proven to be successful for my students. Many of the lessons have videos as well, to show you just how to develop the basic techniques you will need to master the artistic skills.
