At the start of 2016 I joined an online art study forum which caused my art journey to click into high gear.
As a result I have discovered many valuable resources to help me improve my craft.
This page will be an evolving collection of the most valuable Art Self Learning Resources that I come across.
It will serve as a reference document for me but I also hope that it will help other self taught artists.
