The course is a remarkable learning curve full of inspiration and goal achieving capabilities. It helped me to gain insightful knowledge to fuel my creative desire to learn and inspired me to paint accurately and freely.

Marcella

This course exceeded my expectations. I learned so much about color, proportions, thumbnails, and studies, and really appreciated Alain’s clear instruction and detailed PDFs.

Eileen

I learned so much in this course and am much more confident. I take chances now that I would not have before. I would highly recommend the class to others. Take it, and you will be amazed!

Theresa

Alain is a kind, reassuring teacher who challenges and supports you to grow at your own pace. I had many “aha” moments as concepts finally clicked, and by the end of the course I was amazed to capture my son’s likeness in a single evening, something that used to take me weeks.
