So today I want to tell you about a couple of friends of mine, both of whom are offering free art classes.

The first is AMY...<--- that is her blog. She also has a NING SITE. there are currently SIX free workshops/classes/weekly challenges going on at the ning site.

The newest class is a mixed media portrait class, you can watch a trailer for it here.

watch the trailer then go to the ning site and sign up to the class where you will be able to download parts one thru to five of the class...thats 6 pdf's and 18 videos...parts 6 thru to 8 will be posted over the next three weeks.

Amy also hosts a facebook group for mixed media artists, you can find it HERE... join up and show us what you can do...and learn from all the other great members.

Finally, there are live shows over on Amy's Linqto Channel...these are different classes to those on the ning site. All the shows are recorded, so you can catch up for free. Sometimes there are guest teachers....and it is all FREE...FREE...FREE...
