A Different Approach

I loved Matt’s “reverse” process for this course. I applied it to a portrait and it turned out pretty good. Looked nothing like Matt’s but I was seriously into it when I was far along. I will definitely try again and adjust the things that were “off” with my first attempt. Just wish I could think like Matt. But alas, I think like me.

Great course to break out of traditional approach to painting

This course got me to use a different palette than the one I was accustomed to and build the structure of the face in an abstract yet sculptural manner by adjusting the colors of the shading. It also got me to work from light to dark and made me see the construct from a fresh perspective. Highly recommended for beginners but especially for painters looking to break out of a rut!

Opened my eyes to using oils

I’ve always used acrylics to paint with and been a bit scared to use oils. I thought I would give this course a go and it really settled my fears about using this medium.
Highly recommend!
