This was a great course. I produced one of my favourite paintings and then I reproduced it in oil. Lossapardo was a good teacher and I really enjoy his work.

PlusHonestly, I found the course to be quite brief. The instructor makes only a few comments and general guidelines and only two helpful exercises but then it just basically watching him paint. He doesn't explain color theory, techniques, lights, shadows, or nothing of the kind. He is a great artist and I really liked the paintings they were showing of him but not an excellent teacher.
