“I am loving this course! I am very interested in portaiture and have sketched a few since childhood, but never been brave enough to attempt painting them, particularly with oils, the thought scares me! So, I am very impressed with the structure of this course with the addition of notes with all the lessons to download. Everythng is broken down and explained with great clarity and simplicity so even a beginner like myself, is already feeling less daunted after a few sessions. The videos are relaxed and informal, while the live demonstrations with a sitter are fascinating to watch. I feel completely inspired to give this a go and look forward to using colour for the first time. Thank you Jonathan, so interesting!”

Achieve career goals
“A really great wide-ranging course. Not so much a "how to" guide (which is almost impossible to produce with fine art painting) but a fascinating insight into Jonathan's influences, thought process and the decisions he makes when working. Well worth the investment. With any subject that takes years to master people often think they will receive a magic bullet from a course - especially where painting is concerned. As I paint and draw for a living I have been reminded that I need to explore more, take my time, observe more and be myself in my work - for that the class has been extremely worthwhile.”

Learn a new skill
“I greatly appreciate his openenss, vulnerability and willingness to discuss all aspects of his art.
However, I was hoping he would show more techniques about his process. There was too much focus on him explaining (with the 3 camera setup) rather than doing. It was still a good learning experience and his work is stunning and inspirational”
