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!
