Student Testimonials

The demonstrations of the various styles, techniques, variations of paint application, mixing colours, composition, starting with thumbnail sketches were very helpful. Also, the close examination of the various artists paintings as well as the comparisons between various artists as they dealt with similar subject material was really important and I gained a lot of insight and greater appreciation of their work.
