**Email if you need this camp to start on a specific date for the student, I'm happy to create a custom link for your needs

This is a flexible schedule class with NO LIVE MEETINGS. Video instructions will be clear and logical to walk learners through the steps to create a simplified Monet painting. Each student will be able to watch the video instruction on their own schedule. Students will be provided videos, instructions, and a homework assignment on MONDAY of the scheduled week. To get the most out of the class I recommend turning in homework by FRIDAY to be reviewed before next week's paintings are released. 

Each week will have 2 painting options, Please paint at least 1 option (or both)
*tip - want to improve painting skills faster? - Paint both paintings each week
The painting options will be a bit more challenging each week, giving the student a solid foundation of painting basics and reasons to grow.

Students are encouraged to answer the community questions and to email Lovejoy their final painting and progress photos. Lovejoy will provide support and feedback for each student.

No experience is needed to take this course, Perfect for first-time & Beginner Painters.
Everyone has a busy schedule so with this flexible course you, the learner can paint when they have the time.
