Art Lessons Videos
I have compiled my Art Lesson Videos with links to each video, descriptions of what each video is about, the length of the video and a link you can click on for the lessons that pertain to the video!
What a great resource these videos are for youth groups, kid's projects, school curriculum, home schooling and any art learning venue! Here are some of the subjects that are covered by my videos: Learn Collage Draw A Still Life With Pencil Three Column Shading Exercise Using Colored Pencil Doodling With Oil Pastels Shading With Oil Pastels Drawing A Still Life With Oil Pastels Shading A Face With Conte Crayon Paint A Still Life With Acrylics Making A Monoprint Printmaking With A Collagraph Fabric Printing

There are many websites that offer free art lessons BUT how many are actually FREE? If you have been looking for good art instruction for yourself, your children or a parent, here is a great resource, all absolutely FREE to you! And, all of these lessons have been tested and refined by me from over thirty years of art teaching experience. The use of art demonstration videos is a great way to learn many art skills and techniques. And you have the advantage of pausing and repeating the lessons at any point so that you can fully understand and complete the exercises. Enjoy!

Student Testimonials
I recently vistied your website and saw all of the great work you are doing! This is wonderful.
I would love to learn how to draw and was looking at a link to your basic drawing classes. I am hoping that you could send me the coarse information.
Also, I have a daughter who is very interested in art. She is being homeschooled. She has self-taught herself in painting but I am also looking for any coarse work that I could introduce to her studies as well.

I just watched your wonderful oil pastel on a photo and your shading video. Thanks so much! I have been struggling with how to work with oil pastels- I have taken some recreational art classes- but the blending on the paper is hard for me to fathom. If you still offer your oil pastel class I would be very interested.

I work for a Recreation & Parks Department and I was online searching for some art projects to use for our summer day camp program (and secretly for myself to satisfy the little artist in me!) I look forward to taking some of your online lessons.

Hello, I have been drawing portraits lately and feel your crosshatching method has been very helpful! My shading has improved immensely!I will work on the line drawing as soon as I have time! Rose
Notes on Making Videos......
I look back at the first videos I made several years ago and I admit I'm amused at my lengthy dialogues I attached to various demonstrations of painting, drawing and printmaking.
At the onset, I pretty much applied my teaching style to my videos, figuring that a similar method of delivery which worked well with my students would be good for YouTube.
Over the years, however, I have refined my art lesson videos, making them shorter and more concentrated in instruction. I have also migrated away from the lengthy dialogues and let my annotations on the videos explain what I am doing. In this way, I think, hearing impaired viewers will garner just as much from my videos as those that can hear just fine.
