Do you have any spare time in your life to help curious learners give some lessons on art? I mean, however bad you think you are in teaching others, you can still be some aid, at least by sharing what you experience during creating art
I dont really have time to do that, im sorry… im not an art teacher, and i feel my experiences are of little value. so instead i hope this list of resources made by others can help you more than i can:
