Video Learning

Learning by Video is a great way to improve your art skills and the internet abounds with great artist videos.

• The Artist TV Network, where you'll find videos from many different artists for many different medias, is one of the best I've found:  www.artistsnetwork.tv/  You can purchase videos individually or subscribe to their library of learning videos (which I have repeatedly and enjoyed greatly).

• Lets not forget the largest and most well known video site, You Tube.  You can search for specifics on how to paint or draw and find large numbers of great videos to watch and learn from:  http://www.youtube.com/  Many skilled artist will post free howto videos which they share freely and provide links to their websites which offer more instruction. I love to visit You Tube and put in search terms like "painting trees" or "acrylic trees" or "oil painting" and see the numerous videos I can view and learn from.  Following are some good examples: 

  NOTE:  On you tube, search for your art videos at the top search box, as you start typing, several options will appear to search with, choose one.  A list of videos will appear, choose one to watch.  Also if you like that video, on the right column of your screen you will see a list of similiar ones to view.
