The instructor shows incredibly detailed techniques and explains in depth as to the reasons why he uses each color, technique and tool. I gave an average grade because I felt that at least some of the time, he should have referred back to his sample image so we could compare between the two. But once he began his drawing, we never see the original again.

Yes, I have been using colored pencils and needed to learn theory and application. I have never been trained by an artist before, but have learned by experience. Your expertise has given me much insight.

By Patty Ocheltree on 10/26/2020

This course was very informative. The techniques learned in this course, will help me to achieve the quality of art work I have longed to produce. Thank you for this course, and I will continue to look for more courses by this instructor.

I got this course for my very artistically talented grandson and it didn't even manage to get his attention. So I am taking it and enjoying it. I've learned a lot, but will probably never get to use what I've learned.
