“Jonathan’s down to earth approach to teaching makes it straight forward and achievable. He manages to raise audience confidence by demystifying the process. He gives some insight into barriers and suggestions on how to overcome them. It was so interesting to hear his approach. Very enjoyable.”

“Absurd. Outrageous. Insulting. Complete misrepresentation on the part of BBC. Shame on Yeo for agreeing to participate in it.”

“This is an interesting course if all you want is a series of discussons with Yeo talking very generally about his work. There is very little information or detail on how to paint, it's all very vague and repetitive. Yeo keeps saying that he hasn't really thought about how he paints, which is irritating after paying £50 to learn something about the technicalities of his painting.”

“This isn't a step-by-step guide to painting a portrait in the style of Jonathan Yeo. It's much better that that. Imagine you could just have a series of long chats with him over several days about various aspects of how he approaches a portrait, then this is close to that. You get a kind of stream of thoughts around how he considers composition, or lighting, or getting to know the sitter, or painting from life vs from a photo. It's gold dust really for anyone who is painting or thinking about painting people to hear what an accomplished artist thinks about the things you're likely to have questions about once you get going. I loved it.”

“It felt like a lot of talk in the beginning, hence slow moving. Hang in there! Practical examples will come. Lot of pearls and practical advice/guidance to help you think deeply about the next level in your practice and how you can approach it.”
