The online lessons are every day, Monday to Saturday 17: 00-19: 00 (Greece time UTC +3). You can participate in any lesson you want (every day, once a week, etc). The precondition for participation is to have a smartphone connected to a wifi network. How it works: Before the beginning of the lesson, you must have sent me your intention to participate or the photo of the icon you are working on. I will call you via the Internet, only with sound, not with video. I will give you instructions and I will make corrections on the photo of the icon that you sent me. You will see the correction process live on your screen and after our conversation, I will send you the correction you saw on your screen to apply it to your icon. If you want to ask something during the lesson, you can send me a text message via the internet or a new photo of your icon in the new status, so I will be able to help you continue, to answer your questions and to correct live as I said before.No previous experience is needed to participate in the course. The lesson is private in a group.
