Online Free Art Lessons

(Contributed by Marlene Hargreaves, BAA member)

     Nine months ago a 51 year old artist named David Darrow and others started an on-line revolution—free art lessons online!  David uses photos and live poses to capture  his models...and he does it all in front of a live camera.  You get to watch him paint in real time...interact with the artist, ask him questions, etc.  Don't be left out!  He's good!
