*TROUBLESHOOTING
I can’t handle tech issues during class. If you can’t get on, I’ll work with you on it later, or you can get a millennial to help.You can still get critiques during class time. Go ahead and paint and send me images (take a photo and email it to me) so I can give you directions. I’ll be available during your class time.
