Many FREE art offerings to help you get through

So grateful for online art classes. There are some wonderful teachers who are sharing free offerings to help you stay calm, occupied and to soothe yourself in these troubled times. Stress affects the immune system negatively, so by staying as calm as possible, you're helping to protect yourself. I shared 2 FREE offerings last Saturday. The first by Kasia Avery in her FB group HERE. The 7 days have just finished and she's created a downloadable PDF with all the prompts and videos and one more bonus day for you. Follow that FB link or go directly HERE.

And the second from Effy Wild - a full art journal lesson - Go HERE. 

There are a lot more I've found out about during this past week. Please share further in the comments if you know of other things or I've not provided the correct link ♥
