You’ve asked about this. I’ve been thinking about it. And now…It’s here! Jodi Ohl’s popular live workshop now available online! The course is structured in a way that will be accessible to the beginner but also challenging enough for the more advanced student. If you follow along all the videos, and complete the exercises, you should feel more than comfortable throughout the process. As far as supplies are concerned, if you are new to painting this course may require a bit of investment as paints other than craft paint will be part of the recommendations in order to get the bright and bold colors achieved in the samples. The large majority of supplies should be ones that most painters and mixed media artists have on hand already or ones that are readily accessible. If you’ve taken the live version of this class, I’m sure there will be plenty of new techniques for you to enjoy and learn from. Honestly, every time I teach a class, I try to keep evolving as I learn new things or change up how I create a piece of art. In the excitement of being in a live class, there is also a likelihood of forgetting components or just missing something due to distractions that are natural to any class. So the answer is YES…take the course again and enjoy what’s new or revisit techniques you’ve learned before. What is an open ended class?
