Art School with Betsy Beier
Enough with boring, tedious tutorials and overwhelming follow along videos. My goal is provide you with mountains of art exercises & ideas to help you explore your world with creativity.
My approachable, engaging and explorative lessons teach common art techniques using a wide variety of mediums and methods.
From the basics like line, color, texture, form, composition, to the -isms, the masters, art history and more, I’m determined to help even the proclaimed NON-ARTISTS out there see how easy, relaxing and rewarding making art of all kinds can be!
