Thanks Daniel!  I found the Materials list a  few evenings ago.  Can you clarify something else?  Introduction to Still Life is listed as a ‘live’ class which takes place on Mondays @ 3;30PM.  I assumed I was   1 week behind the “live” class as I started on Monday 10/25 (as opposed to 10/18).  But I noticed that Catherine is teaching a “live’ sketch booking class also on Mondays at 3:30.  Is the still life class being offered currently through the videos of the last session alone or is Catherine available for lessons/questions in the current session.  Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Marlene, live.nma.art is broken up between “current live classes” and “previous live classes”  the previous live classes have already transpired.

To be clear, the sketch booking class is the current class. 🙂 I hope this helps

[Marlene Mc New]

Thanks for clarifying Daniel.  I appreciate your responses.  I was a bit confused by the label “live” for classes in prior periods.

They differ from the other recorded classes in that these videos contain a “live” audience that submitted questions during each lesson.

I’m sure I can learn quite a bit just by watching the prior videos.  Thanks again!
