A VERY important note about upcoming PDF LESSONS and WORKSHOPS!!! This page has gotten a lot of hits and I really DO appreciate so many of you coming back to look to see what's new. Let me explain what is going on and what will be coming up so that you are on the same page as I am :) Currently I run two business' fulltime, one a picture framing business. I also monitor four websites with blogs and boards so I'm kept pretty busy. (sorry, they don't make money, lol, they are pro bono) And the classes are done on the side when I have time. They are what I TRULY love to do and what helps keep me sane. However, even the tiniest lesson takes an enormous amount of time since each one requires a photo or scan between each step. Then a download etc. Each image must be resized, tweaked etc and then put into a doc file. Then I explain what I did and how I painted or drew what I did well enough, hopefully, so that you can repeat the process yourself in your own home.
      Most projects are small enough that you can do them on an 11 x 14 on your lap sitting in your easy chair with good lighting while watching TV. (Hence the name Arm Chair Paint Classes) to make it convenient enough to be able to do a small project anywhere.
     However, the two projects I'm currently working on are much more ambitious, and much larger. They are pencil projects and will require much more time. As well, they will probably need more detailed explanations and this will probably force me to put audio/video files on a CD. These types of lessons can also be offered as print-out's only as well, but you can also see the reason for the time-consuming reason behind the long delay in putting up newer lessons.
     So if you are interested in being informed about new lessons, just email me. I'll let you know when there is something new. It might be pen and ink. watercolor, or I might just be letting you know when I found one of the older lessons that I was able to put back up online, but I'll keep you informed :)
