Student love notes

  • “Hi Elaine, I've started watching your new lessons and can't wait to put pencils and paints to paper! It is so apparent that you put a ton of work into this series and I am happily grateful to be able to learn from you! Your explanations and examples are so clear and easy to grasp and I can't wait to get the next classes you have coming soon!”

    Suzy D.

  • “I never imagined myself as a portrait artist. Adding people to the scene always seemed like a distant dream, but my attempt always fell short. Then I discovered your Workshop. It’s not just well-structured, it’s a treasure trove of tricks and tricks that have made painting people both easy and incredible fun. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned and accomplished in just three weeks.”

    Britt

  • “I just finished lesson 3 yesterday and I have to tell you I am so excited!!! Something just clicked in my brain in a way it never has before! It’s like I can see things in a totally different way! I appreciate you so much! You are truly a gifted teacher! Can’t wait to finish the whole set!”

  • “I want to express my sincere appreciation for your Urbanscapes class. Your approach to urban illustrations is truly refreshing and inspiring. I really like how you have designed the course to emphasize creativity and personal style over rigid technical perfection… ”

    Abhiri

  • “The most important thing I learned is to simplify what I draw. This is a very difficult task for me, but it was explained in a way that was easy to understand in this class. The technique of deliberately distorting the point of view, the use of color, and bold composition, I definitely want to incorporate these into my paintings in the future.”

    Ichiyo

  • "I just wanted to reach out to you to say I am having a great time with this class.  I love your teaching style so much.  That is why I signed up for my second class with you.  I am having a great time with ‘Drawing Made Simple’. Thank you for all the work you put into these class instructional videos.  Your words are so encouraging and helpful.  I just wanted to say, Thank you!"
