I'm thinking to launch a painting course for free

A video of me giving instructions about how to paint your own dragon.

I want to begin giving online courses so I'm thinking that creating a free offering would be a good place to start.

What do you think ?

Thats cool...Really you want to hear from fellow artists. In the music-technology world, some of those how-to videos do really well...
Are you thinking about making money eventually? Cause I don't know how saturated that market is
but I hope you do well, your art is amazing.

@Matt85 thank you 😊 I'm inspired and happy to do it...
Yes of course I'm not planning on doing free classes for a living 🤭 But I would like to create a first free sample.
So people who want to invest in it can check out if it suits them.
And people who cannot afford the classes can get something to work with too, as an offering..

@elafina It seems like doing work for free at first works for some people. For example, people trying to get back into work sometimes volunteer at a charity shop and it looks good on the resume'. Of course it works for how-to channels too, when they get so big they start getting sponsors (I'm sure you've thought about all this). So a free sample is great and somewhat proven but I don't want you to be hurt if the plan doesn't work but that is absolutely not to say you shouldn't do it. *I* think it's a good plan, just cause no matter what you are still being creative and that's what its about really. You're already really good but I'm sure you'll only learn from it and get better at your art. I say do it! Sorry if any of this seems like I'm talking down to you. You have 33 subscribers and I only have 12, so we know who's doing better I think lol.😄

@Matt85 getting hurt is okay and failing is part of the process. I'm not being stopped by it...we need to learn! Exactly what you say in the end, I'll only learn from it and get better!
I think I'll do it...:))

@elafina So strong 😤

@Matt85 yes I am... And I am not. But I am you know? I just keep on going. That doesn't mean I'm not feeling deeply into what's happening. But it means, I'm learning to keep the experience within its timeline, and not carrying it along.. To travel light.. 🤗
