The benefits of this are numerous for sure! However many are still shy or discouraged to take this step.
The Pro’s:
No travelling to a class
No packing all your art supplies to attend a class
No interference from an over-helpful hands-on instructor - cough I’m guilty of this
You can access the recording of the session for future referral
Notes on the class can also be accessed so you can see the step by step instructions in front of you in B/W
The instructor - me - will be guiding you and painting with you in ‘real-time’ telling you which pigments to mix to achieve the colours needed
The instructor - me - will show you how and where of your every move
Better than painting by numbers as you can show how you are progressing and ask questions in real time.
The Cons:
If you don’t have a decent screen to work from it can be awkward and frustrating
You need good internet connection
The instructor - me - can’t actually pick up your brush and do it for you (maybe that is not a con?)
The fear of technology is real
You need to have a space to work from at home - however it doesn’t need to be a big space
