This course is excellent in technique and structure on how to start and build an abstract. I always struggled where to start. Key is having fun and not trying to do detail straight away but to gradually build...don't be scared to do many layers! Great course!

I had the opportunity to join Leonie at a 5-star weekend getaway at Angala Boutique Hotel for a Portrait Painting workshop. Here she taught us a special recipe using just four earthy colours. I was amazed that in no time without much effort a portrait appeared! With this technique one really does not even have to draw the face first exactly in pencil, placing the dark, light, warm and cold in the right places, the picture just magically appears. Exceptional!

Was about to quit my art journey because I hated tracing images to paint. Signed up for the course because I had nothing to lose - great decision! I made my first ever painting without a drawing and loved every minute of it. There is no better value out there for portrait painting, and certainly no better instruction. If you’re not sure about signing up I suggest you go for it and prepare to be amazed by doing what you never thought you could do until you prove that with the right approach and instruction, you too can be a great artist!
