Why do this?
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’s affordably priced at $35 (one-time payment).
For anyone who wants me to ship them a box of the supplies, that’s an option separate from the course (email me to inquire about ordering the materials list- US addresses only).
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 1030 (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.
Here’s where I could use your help
Share this post with your friends at Facebook and any other social media. That helps tremendously!
If there aren’t enough members enrolled by the end of the first few months, I’ll shut it down at Skool.com and move it to protected pages on my own website where it won’t cost me extra and existing students won’t loose out. The advantage to using a platform is supposedly the organic reach I could get from people within the platform already. So I want to try it there first.
See you at Skool!

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.
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.
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.
Call me “Roxann” or “Madison”, either one works.
For pretty much everything online, I go by Madison Woods, a pen name I adopted when I first began writing and then later with my art. For real estate, I use my real name, Roxann Riedel. And for my fiction, there’s yet another pen name: Ima Erthwitch.
