My 5 week Serious Fun Online Course wrapped up in early December. I’ll be offering it again next fall. Be sure to subscribe (below) to hear about next year’s Play Dates and Serious Fun.

Here are some things students had to say about this year’s experience:

Alison’s art course was so much like her paintings - richly layered, always interesting, full of surprising gems, built on a strong foundation with clear interconnections  and pathways to follow — at one’s own pace and level. Alison’s warmth, desire for all her students to succeed, and generosity with extra explanations and how-tos, have made me feel both more confident as an emerging artist, and more willing to take risks. My head is full of new knowledge and future ideas. Thank you! Cynthia C.

.. I found the course very organized and helpful in many ways, breaking the steps down into weeks made it possible to repeat exercises and deepen the muscle memory to the techniques that are not common (to me). Changing the focus from marks, to botanicals to still lifes to landscapes kept it fresh up to the final all-abstract….thank you so much Alison for a rich, fun, learningful 5 weeks. .. this concentrated progressive program was worth the lack of sleep! Jessica L.

Thank you all for the relaxed and supportive togetherness in this lovely, family like group.I enjoyed the conversation so much, getting tips, help in any way ... struggling & laughing together... all over the world! Thanks a lot - most notably to Alison, I learned so much, leaving the comfort zone, entering new territories, will see how this will engage in my further work. Edda D.
