I have started developing a YouTube channel to share my art instruction and demonstrations. I have more flexibility on class length and greater reach through YouTube. The selection is currently more limited than Skillshare but it’s free! Please subscribe and let me know what you’d see.


Skillshare

Currently I use Skillshare as the platform for my online classes. Skillshare is a subscription based platform that give you access to thousands of classes, not just my few! They are always running some sort of trial so you can ‘try before you buy’ a subscription. Check out this blog post if you’d like to know why I chose Skillshare.

My goal is to have a variety of classes for different skill levels, plus some inspiration ‘creativity’ classes to spark the creative flame in everyone!
