Go directly to my online community at skool.com (where you can find the paint-making course) and skip the post below:

The community is free until it reaches 50 founding members, and the free paint-making course unlocks after enough interactions with other community members (to reach Level 5). Once you sign up to join, look under the Classroom tab and that’s where the course will be.
Why do online?
I’m always trying to schedule workshops and other events out here at Wild Ozark, but the weather always interferes.
It’s either too cold, too hot, or threatening to flood, it seems.
Well, I still want to try and have in-person events and workshops, but I’m also now going to present an online option.
Skool.com is a platform with free and paid communities of all sorts. You can create an online course and market it all over the world.
So I am trying it out with an online paint-making course of my own. It costs me to host the course on the Skool platform, so eventually I’ll switch the community model over to a paid subscription. But until it reaches 50 members, it’s free to join and you’ll be a Founding Member with continued free access to everything.
What does the paint-making course cover?
Pretty much the same thing the in-person course covers, except I can actually also include the parts that usually take too long for the one-day on site version. Like washing and drying pigments.
It’s all video except for the downloadable materials to support it, so I’ll have to get used to making videos.
We’ll start with the very basics – going over the tools of the trade. Next will be going out to look for rocks and test them at the water’s edge on larger rocks. We’ll smash rocks, grind them, wash and dry the pigment, and process it into paints – both watercolor and oils.
I’ll film every step of what I do from start to finish.
Every week on Sundays at 2 pm (central time), I’ll host a 30 min Zoom meeting. It’s intended to be a sort of coffee break where students can ask questions or we can visit virtually in person.

The newsletter is monthly. My blog is sporadic, so if you want the posts to go to your inbox, put your email address below. Blog posts and newsletters aren’t always the same (very rarely are the same), so it won’t hurt to subscribe to both 🙂
I’m a nature-lover, real estate agent & artist. Sometimes, I also write things. I began using local pigments to paint scenes from nature in the Ozarks in 2018.
All of my artwork is available in prints, and where originals are available, they are for sale. You can find all of that over at shop.WildOzark.com.
If you’re interested in buying or selling in rural northwest AR, get in touch with me by phone, text, or email. I’m happy to help! I have a separate website for my real estate blogging and information at WildOzarkLand.com.
Call me “Roxann” or “Madison”, either one works.
