Decorative Painting has gone online it seems. I talked about the E-zines in my previous blogs. But there are also “on line events”.
These “events” are like mini conventions. There are slight variations of course, but basically a group of teachers get together and present their projects to you in the comfort of your own home. Usually there is a video as well as a complete e-packet. The projects are released regularly to your email and then there is a full year for you to access the videos at your convenience. And I mean at your convenience! Stop and start the videos as you like. Watch them 100 times!! In your pajamas or dressed for a party!! The e-packets are yours to download and keep.
With the cost of traveling and the demise of our beloved painting studios and shops this is a great way to keep on painting. The community aspect of painting is continued with a Facebook page. Projects are shared and encouragement is ongoing and contagious.
Find an “online convention” that matches your needs…..Art Play Date is a mixed bag with the focus on creativity. Coloured Pencils of course. Look for Acrylic events coming and I believe there is an Oil Painting one available as well. They are always a great value with at least 12 projects and the price seems to be hovering about $100.
Decorative Painters will always find a way to keep on painting!!
