I think another part of those types of classes is forced progression from start to finish. I think sometimes as hobby painters if we get frustrated creatively we tend to abandon projects. When I took my art classes back in college I had to find a way of completing the project which allowed me to overcome my creative blocks and learn to accept the completed piece as presented. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how others in my class completed the assignment and taking notes on how I could take what they did and improve going forward.

I think outside of the online courses it might be worth focusing on repetitive practice. This is because as much as videos can show you new techniques and classes can give you feedback, you will never improve if you don’t practice.
