The way of teaching by the teacher is good

By Cornelia Jurka-Lang on 10/23/2020

This was an awesome course. Very detailed and a lot of useful tipps for the final touchups that make art stand out a lot. I've had trouble with the final impression of my landscapes, and am looking forward to try out what I learned in this course.

By Puja Mandal on 9/22/2020

learn many new things!

By J C on 9/13/2020

This was nice, but watching you work was more helpful than the actual course videos. I would have loved more videos of your work where you're explaining what you're doing.

By Michael J Rasmussen on 9/6/2020

Wonderful course! Watching over the shoulder of a pro, all, while he explains in clear terms the expression and feel of what he's going for, is a goldmine for anyone trying to get into digital art. Well done!

By Ismail Almamoon on 9/5/2020

I really learned a lot from this course! It's easy to follow and understand, and his pacing and explanations are very good. From brushes to layers, he covers everything about landscapes and scenery.

By S Cha on 9/4/2020

The process was too fast. I wanted to know what kind of brushes or tools he used and where they were. It'd have been better if he reminded us about where the tools were as he paints.

By Rebecca Asch on 8/25/2020

Great course for beginners in both landscape painting and digital art

By Shyphu - on 8/21/2020

Pretty good, nice tips and examples. Nice tools use that I never though of even after years of Photoshop practice. Might lack just a bit of theory and clearness with points and categories but, overall amazing.
