Online Art Courses

With the holiday season behind us, you probably have plenty of photos of loved ones gathered together. Let’s kick off the New Year with a monumental project that will set the tone for the months ahead. This course is designed to expose you to complex artistic challenges and creative opportunities, helping you prepare for any scenario in your independent studio work.

When you normally draw a figure, you start with the outline. In this course we will do it differently. We will explore the technique where the steps of drawing are reversed and the black outline appears at the end. The “found outline” is a fun way to exercise your concentration and develop further your artistic skill: it requires a new way of thinking while in the process of drawing.

Ever wonder why there are so many reds, yellows, and blues at the art store? Or which colors you actually need on your palette? This course is here to clear up the confusion about warm and cool colors and dive into the differences between the two most popular color mixing systems: RYB (red, yellow, blue) and CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow). Painting starts with color-mixing, and this course is the most important course for anyone who wants to try painting. In this course, you will acquire the system for how to set your palette and mix any color you want. Color mixing is like science; anyone who understands it, gets off to a good start.

There are very few surprises in life. In this course, you are GUARANTEED to be surprised. Not just surprised but blown away. You will learn how Color Theory can help you in drawing, and how drawing can help you grasp the physics of Color Theory. In art, major discoveries await you, and these 6 weeks will be packed with them. If you have done drawing and perhaps dubbed in painting, this course will help reconcile the two for you, as drawing and painting are one! This course will be all about drawing, but it will help you make sense of painting along the way. 

Want to learn how to draw? Not sure where to start? This Drawing Course is a great way to begin. By the end of the twelve weeks, you'll be able to draw anything you want. You will learn the most important aspects of drawing from the very beginning. You will build the foundation by rendering basic objects and environments, and become prepared to apply these techniques to more complex subjects. All the techniques of the Essential Drawing Course are done in monochrome (black and white) so there is no distraction from the basics such as light and shadow, line, form, tone, and texture.
