I’ve been amazed at the breadth and quality of virtual art instruction that is available online. However, I’m also looking for feedback and help along my art journey and had imagined it would be difficult to really connect with an art cohort while we’re moving all around. But I feel like I’ve found a real gem in Sandy Allnock’s community.

Within the Mighty social networks group she has curated a lively bunch of artists across many types of artistic media who support and help each other. She also has a deep list of classes available, many of which look extremely appealing to me.

I started with the PowellsWood Sketches class because the nature themes appealed to me and I was amazed that right off the bat the lessons started with a bunch of white flowers. It has always seemed to me that white subjects are especially difficult to paint in watercolor because traditionally you don’t use any white paint…you merely “preserve” the white of the page.

But I really enjoyed the first lesson and I took a couple different tries as the subject matter using different paint colors and various pens.
