I started water coloring from Instagram posts. I was really enjoying it but felt I needed fundamental classes. I got that from Skillshare. I feel like I’m struggling a bit more because of the more technical and experienced teachers but I’m enjoying it!

Great but need a way to send the projects privately!

Only took one course so far but it was pretty great! Though I would really appreciate a way to upload the final project privately instead of to a gallery open to everyone since the one I did was for a personal project and would like a private option to get the certificate!

Hi Aster,

We're glad to hear you liked your first class — that’s awesome to hear. We totally get what you mean about keeping projects private, especially when it’s something personal. That’s a fair point. We'll make sure it gets passed along to the team.

The subject matter is not always fully explained. In some cases, it is a general overview and not enough for someone to learn the skill. The filming has limited quality as well, often missing the hands of the person doing the demo. It is also somewhat pricey.

Hi Klev,

Thank you for your honest feedback — we really appreciate you sharing this.

We understand how frustrating it can feel when courses seem repetitive or don’t go deep enough into a topic, especially if you’re looking for more advanced or diverse content. That’s an important part of the learning experience, and it’s something we’re continuously working to improve.

Your feedback about depth and variety is valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with the team as we continue expanding and refining the course catalog.

Fraudulent business - stay away

I have been searching around on Skillshare's website for about 10 minutes - and it is impossible to get some information about prices, terms and how to quit subscription
Apparently, Skillshare is just another fraudulent teaching site that bases their business model on cheating people - just like Patreon, Udemy, Domestika,and Coursera. Stay away. Use YouTube.

PS. Read the reviews of Skillshare's former customers: the vast majority of complaints are about being cheated. Skillshare is nothing but bullshit business.

Hi Anna,

Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been. Not being able to quickly find clear information about pricing, terms, or how to cancel a subscription can definitely be discouraging, and we understand why that left a negative impression.

We want to be transparent, and we’re sorry if that wasn’t your experience. For clarity, subscription details—including pricing, billing terms, and how to cancel—are available in your account settings, and cancellation can be done directly there at any time.

We offer different membership prices based on region, so we're unfortunately unable to provide prices until you have created an account.

We're sorry to hear about the confusion with the cancellation process. Please know that we are actively working to enhance our systems to prevent such occurrences in the future.

We've outlined the steps to cancel via our public Help Center below: https://help.skillshare.com/hc/articles/115001701651

That said, your feedback is important, and we’ll be sharing it with our team to help improve how this information is presented and made easier to find.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please just drop us a note at any time!
