5 Online Art Classes to Unleash Your Inner Van Gogh

This online drawing course is classified as intermediate, so if you’re pretty green when it comes to drawing, I wouldn’t start with this one. Brickey’s class focuses on lifelike pencil portraits, breaking down pencil techniques, facial features and their proportions and supply recommendations. 

Brickey’s syllabus lists class supplies needed for this life drawing class: paper, pencils, lead (if you’re using mechanical pencils), blenders (tissues, cotton swabs or blending stumps) and erasers. She says you can use any type, but provides specific brand recommendations in the syllabus.

What it costs: Some online classes on Skillshare are free when you create an account, but most require a premium membership, which costs $165 annually or $13.75 a month, after a seven-day free trial.
