About Us
| Question of
the month.... ...."I'm sure you get this question a
lot, but I'm a struggling artist and would like to know how to
market my work and start bringing an income with my artwork. How do
I go about getting commissions for my paintings? Thanks!".....
Nancy Beal
This is a good question but not always easy to
answer. That is because showing work has changed a lot in the last
several years. The internet has made it so much easier for a budding
artist to showcase their work in a 'virtual' business card via the
internet. In addition, there are the traditional avenues such as
shows, galleries looking for the chance to spotlight new artists and
new work. Donating to worthy organizations with your name and
business card in the forefront is always a good idea. And don't
forget online digital art shows!

| ......Thank you for the fun
watercolor lesson, Madeleine. I read it through completely, and was
going to email you a question, yet before I finished reading the page,
I found you answered my painting questions before I had a chance to
ask. I found it to be an excellent lesson; fun and challenging. ......

.....I am a retired handicapped person with little chance to get to
traditional classes. I was delighted to find your website and get
these detailed printable instructions. Will you keep me on a list and
let me know when you have more lessons available? Thank you.....

Our downloadable PDF watercolor
art lessons, pastel art lessons, pencil art lessons and pen and ink
art lessons come with many photos because I believe that pictures
show so much more than all the explanations in the world. In
addition to explanations of the lesson, many photos come with
details such as color coded areas that point to specific areas of
note.

.. Learn to paint online
in the comfort and safety of your own home by ordering our e-classes,
CDs and
art videos. Online
classes and pdf art lessons are the best way to learn long distance.
You can easily learn to draw and lean to paint from the comfort of
your own home. Without ever leaving your own home and by defining
your own schedule, you can easily select what you want to learn to
draw or lean to paint, and then choose when you want
to paint!
Because many of the projects are small, you can also draw or paint
them on your lap while watching TV in the evenings (thus the name "ArmChairPaintClasses) making a online drawing lesson or an online
watercolor lesson even more convenient to you than
ever before. And of course, any and all of these can easily be
scaled up or down at any Kinko's copier too if you want to repeat a
lesson and make it larger.
As well, online pencil and watercolor workshops are offered and
some previous watercolor workshops are also re-offered. Work is then
posted to message boards.
A wonderful place to begin for online watercolor lessons, pencil drawing
lessons and graphics painting lessons!
