No such classes in my area that don't require you to be doing other things like enrolled in a degree program or also taking classes that have absolutley zip to do with improving your art skills.

Any such courses are way out of the way for me.
Already looked into that.

Sometimes classes are hard to find, but they are out there. There are several in each surrounding town here.

Google "town art association", substituting "town" for your town and for surrounding towns. You'll find classes. Those sorts of classes are for people like you and me who want to study what we want to study and curricula(um) be darned! They're more like salons with a mentor.
