Original Post:
March, 2020: With many of us cocooned at home trying to slow the spread of Covid-19, we suddenly find ourselves with more time for creativity than we’re used to. It’s funny, among the artists I know who teach online there’s this huge excitement as we think, “I was made for this!” There’s a steady stream of amazing content popping up online as artists turn on cameras to share videos and lessons for housebound audiences.
Free Video Lessons from my Courses for YOU
I’m no exception. I will be increasing live broadcasts to my Fearless Artist community, but I’m also offering free content by posting free “preview” lessons from my online courses. During April and May 2020, I’ll be posting a video lesson you can watch from free, some of my favorites from my 20+ online courses. Watch your email!
Here are more artists who are posting live video lessons regularly online during the coronavirus pandemic:
