Almost every Saturday I sign up for a remote painting session via Atelier Dojo. It's a great deal: $5 for the three hours. The costumed models are always beautifully lit, and we share work once an hour, so there's a sense of community, too.

My work has gotten so much better over the last year, and these weekly painting sessions are a big reason why.
