I enjoyed this class very much. I just wanted to tell you I've been looking for several months now for online lessons/content and I feel the format you came up with really hits the spot. Didn't find anything like that. The fact it's interactive is extremely valuable! -Moshe RothI'm always impressed by how much care you put into the critiques for each painting - even for beginners like me. It's definitely one of the reasons I signed up because I was so hopelessly confused about the colour temperature thing from watching other artists on YouTube who either don't explain or have just got it totally wrong! -Sue Donovan, Great BritainThis month's video on the Aspens is amazing! I'm so happy I found your workshops! I have learned so much, invaluable! How you manage to get so much done is amazing. I'm realizing there are many different ways to start a painting, which can really affect the outcome. -PedroI just wanted to say thank you for such an awesome first class. Even in this one class, you helped me figure out my biggest frustrations with oils. I've recently begun dabbling in oils. I primarily paint for fun in watercolor and sometimes Casein. There were a few moments in class where I was like "uuummmmm I dunno how this is gonna work out" and then we'd move on and it was like "shazam, shadows and form to the rocks," I very much look forward to where this is going. I love my painting already and it's not even halfway yet. -Lindsey Bakke
