Online Art Design and Craft Classes From the Best

I wrote in my last post that I had hit a major “snag” in my posting since discovering that one may not be “legally correct” by using photographs from another site, even if one is merely publicizing for them, and alerting other potential readers to it’s existence. The aforementioned post concerned an artist by the name of Marilyn Radzat.

I have spent the time in the interim trying to solve the dilemma; a post about arts and crafts cannot work without photographs. I have found the most amazing art that I have never seen since beginning this endeavor, and it has been somewhat of a distraction that I don’t know if I can legally include a photo of the amazing things that I find. I do, however, have several happy things to report in the interim as I continue to analyze how to handle this hurdle.

Number one: Not only is Marilyn Radzat the finest fantasy artist I have ever had the pleasure of discovering, she is also a real person. I don’t mean that in it’s most literal sense; Of course she’s a “real” person; she makes “real” art. I mean that she is accessible and nice. She actually took the time to personally email me with permission to use her photographs to promote her art classes. In case you aren’t familiar with the artist, she does not do this for money, but for the love of teaching. Her works are in fine galleries throughout a great deal of the planet, and in the homes of such notables as the Clintons, Ron Howard, and Anne Rice, to name a few.

Number Two: For the first time in her decades-long career as an accomplished fantasy artist specializing in figure form, she is offering on-line classes.

Number Three: The classes are very reasonably priced. A steal, as a matter of fact. The opportunity of a lifetime, in my humble opinion. She told me in her email that teaching was what she loves best; hence, the reasonably priced online classes, accessible to folks from all walks of life, not just the privileged. She could easily give personal classes to only those who could afford the exorbitant price she has a right to request.

Number Four: She often uses gourds and specializes in incorporating other “found” and natural materials in her works, such as stones, shells, flea market finds and “throwaways”… Although she does fantasy art in other mediums, it’s predominantly sculpting in one medium or another; her depiction of female faces is unparalleled. She has a lovely “artist’s statement“, which is:
