Thanks very much for the link to your basic drawing lessons. I am working very hard on them. Right now I'm getting ready to do the one where you use a pencil as a gauge. I'm enjoying the lessons very much.

You asked a little about me...I live in Connecticut, I work full-time, am married, and will be 58 this September.I had applied to the Academy of Art University, but found out that I would never be able to afford the tuition and pay off my mortgage before I retire. So, I searched the web for alternatives. You came up in a search for online art lessons. I read about you and decided you sounded like a great fit. And, that you don't charge for sharing your knowledge and years of experience really impressed me. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Talk to you soon,Kathy

Thank you so much for the link. I am from the Sacramento area in California. I googled art lessons and found your website. I really want to learn how to be a better artist and be able to draw well. Also, I think an app would be nice to have for this lesson. I would download that app if you were to have one. Thank you again for the free classes. I'm excited to learn :-)

Hello Lois -

Thank you for your gracious site. I will have to save up for some of the supplies needed so, I won't be able to start right away.

I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I have wanted to take art lessons and here in Sioux Falls, they don't have any for those of us who aren't college educated. And mainly the community only caters to families. So, others like me get left out. I greatly appreciate your sincere love for art and willingness to work closely with those who partake of your classes.

Much sincere thanks -Gina Elberger

Hi there Lois,I've just found your web site, and am intrigued.I am very familiar with colour as an interior decorator..but have always talked about having my own studio to paint, do woodworking, sewing and pottery.Right now, I'm hoping to develop my skills as an artist. I have done several pieces in oil, and have branched out to acrylic.

I've taken only one lesson (abstract with acrylics)and would like to hone my skills with oils.

Looking forward to your Intermediate- Lesson one Refresher.I found your article on Launching a successful career as an Artist- very helpful

Thanks

From Johannesburg, South Africa. What you have done is so generous – and in a big big way. This is a lot of work !! Thank you so much. SA Rand to Dollar is meaningless – what else can I do for you? I have downloaded your lessons and hope to start soon. I have to get the reading material aligned with the practical aspect – see what I make of it, but I am stunned by what you offer here. The high level of instruction, the good language and the fact that it doesn’t intimidate in spite of all that. Really Lois we are very blessed to have this to turn to. Thank you again. With my best regards
