Special Studies on Van Gogh
The teacher was good but I was hoping that she would do a demonstration of techniques at the beginning of each class and we would paint what she taught us. I had to ask her to come over to get her advice on what to do next. Her class was kind of You do what you want. Nice lady though -
Intro to Oil Painting (Level 1)
I thought the course was very beneficial for me. Starting with preparing the canvas to using a photograph for the painting, to color selection and color mixes I have learned a lot from our instructor. Our instructor was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. She gave us several tips to paint better. I would recommend this course to anyone who is a beginner in oil painting. -
