I consume A LOT of artist process and education video content, and as much as I don't begrudge artists AT ALL for having some content behind paywalls in the form of classes, online and offline experiences, etc. as somebody who's low income, the constant barrage of marketing of these sorts of things definitely sparks a bit of FOMO.

I’ve taken a couple of those paywalled classes and found that the free stuff is nearly as good, just less concentrated.

@TisTree Yeah, that's largely what I've found as well. I think most of the time, the same information can be found elsewhere.

I think for me, I end up wishing I could take classes (both online and off) because I'm longing for a little bit of structure in a supportive communal environment.

@nikkiana
I wish there was a place that would be a supportive environment for artist, too. But something much smaller than what’s available on most social media now.
I’ve thought of setting up a WP site that would act like a private community for sharing and learning art. Kind of like how forums used to work.
