Learning Curve Boost

 



I’m back in my home state of Iowa for a few weeks, hanging with my elderly mother and looking for beauty to paint. I found it at a nearby winery called Prairie Moon Winery, north of Ames, as the shadows lengthened one afternoon. 

My w/c learning curve is having a considerable boost, IMHO, with a year-long, online course I am taking from Minnesota artist Andy Evansen. What a fine course he has created in collaboration with Tucson Art Academy. I’ve been wanting to find a teacher to apprentice to, and viola—the opportunity for this course magically appeared rather magically.

For the course, Andy has posted well over 100 video demos and lectures for deep learning, plus he and my classmates are quite responsive with suggestions for paintings, via a private Facebook group. I am so grateful.
