The course overall was very nice. I am glad to go through it. I will suggest that the tutor can be a bit more detailed on this brush flow. It was a bit difficult to know which brush he was using and some process before painting was not shown. Some of the photo resources used in the course I couldn't get them. Took me a whole lot of searching to find an alternate. Nevertheless thank you for taking your time to make this course available. God bless you.

Although still very much a beginner, I thoroughly enjoyed learning new processes as well as tips and tricks for creating an art world. Hardy's approach keeps learning interesting and is done so at a great pace; not too fast where one misses things and not too slow where your mind starts wandering to other places. Awesome course!

Environments have always been a struggle point for me, but with this course I've learned new techniques and have seen progress within my work. There was a lot of struggling as I figured things out, but I should say it was worth it! I definitely plan to use the other prompts he mentions at the end to keep progressing.

Good so far

Informations pertinentes et bien expliques, surtout que le sujet est assez complexe. Il faut s'accrocher mais ca en vaut la peine

I knew how I wanted my projects to look like... I knew how to start... But I didn't know all the middle steps and it seemed an extraordinarily difficult road to reach the goal. Hardy Fowler breaks it down so effectively and made things soooo much simpler that it was almost shocking to the core! Thank you so much for this amazing course and for this soft and calming voice. I'm a fan!
