“You have many classes, where do I begin?”
Every artist must be great at three things: color and light design, environment design, and picture making (or composition), so any of these three are a great place to start.
They each have follow up classes available to put the knowledge further into practice, we refer to those as workouts and we've set them up as an inexpensive way to continue your education.
And if you're just looking to brush up on your digital technical abilities, then you could begin with the digital painting workout. Good luck!
