Online Gray Colored Pencil 101
Linda is a very helpful, entertaining, and knowledgeable instructor who manages to oversee a large number of disparate activities simultaneously. This format was new to me -- less overt instruction, each person doing their own project in different media -- and I'm not sure it's really efficient, but if anyone could make it work, Linda would be the one! -
Online Drawing with Graphite 101
This was a pretty good class. I liked the teacher, she called me beforehand to gauge my skill level before we started. The classes did help me refresh my basic drawing skills. A little expensive but most classes are. -
Online Chalk Pastel 102
Linda was a great instructor, very creative and versatile in different techniques. Fun class to learn about beginning chalk pastels. -
Online Oil Pastel 101
The coursehorse staff was friendly and responsive and altered my schedule quickly when something unexpected came up. Linda, the instructor, is clearly passionate about the art and is totally engaging. When I could not find a couple of items locally, Linda's staff sent them right out to me. This was a great experience and provided what I was looking for. -

This was the most amazing experience! I’ve been looking for an art class for years and never found one that “fit” until now! Although I have been drawing for several years, I’ve never taken a drawing class. This class starts at the most fundamental level, which is what I’d been hoping to find. The instructor is also amazing and it was so cool to see what other students are creating! The ambiance in the classroom was also perfect for creativity!
