The Art Cave Academy

Roxanne Milson's Art Cave Academy is an online art school providing resources and online courses for keen creatives to learn digital drawing, painting, and how to draw horses. All things horses, art and teaching were put into a cauldron, resulting in a place for all horsey artists young and old to come together to learn.

Here there will be introductory courses to digital art, beginner drawing courses focussing on drawing horses as well as more advanced courses teaching students how to draw dynamic horses and even get to a level of drawing from imagination. 

The Art Cave Academy is still under construction, so please watch for updates!
