All art lessons are online in real time. Regardless of your level of experience, everyone will receive the individual feedback needed to improve. Absolutely no prior experience is required.

Critique of a painting by Eileen Mullan
Constructive critique can be one of the most effective ways to improve as an artist (in addition to practice, practice, practice!). Lisa brings a fresh perspective and many years of experience to help you find a path through difficult areas. She will help you consider new solutions or techniques you hadn’t thought to try. The online format creates a unique opportunity for Lisa to digitally draw suggestions over photos of your artwork, allowing you to better visualize the possibilities. In the end, the final decisions are always yours.
