"Thanks again for providing so many of us with your excellent lessons. I find myself wanting to experiment and explore with the many tools you've given us! I now look at my paintings and ask the many questions of myself regarding composition, value, color, etc. What a difference it makes knowing what to look for! Looking forward to happy painting!"
"I'm so thrilled about being able to study with you guys, finally some order on how I will go about improving my work. I used to just watch videos & read books but still was so confused on how to put all those together in such a way that I could apply the bits and pieces I learned from them in every single piece that I work on. Thank you!"
"Gábor this is just amazing to watch you work! It really pointed out things I'm doing wrong. This was incredibly helpful. Loved the recap, too!"
"After watching many of Phil's videos and honing in on the way he mixes and uses color (from the color wheel), I set this still life up to see if I could see and mix the color I was seeing in a more logical way. I picked a couple of vases that had a difficult color to analyze. Before Phil, I would have been mixing many colors trying to get that particular color ... of course, not remembering what I had mixed! .. So, I followed Phil's line of thought .. start with a color from the wheel. I am pleased with the ease I was able to "get the color". Thanks Phil for the excellent instruction on color!"
"I just watched the full length video on Color, and it was excellent. Among other things the concept of not trying to "match the colors in the photo, but instead painting the effect of the light" has really helped me so much. Also, the concept of starting with the color wheel when trying to mix a color is very helpful. And (although the whole video is equally helpful) even the last few minutes about finishing with "neutral greys" to make the colors pop was excellent. Too often artist's demos are only about how to start the painting, but never about the final few strokes that finally bring it all together and make it pop. Thank you. So good!"
"I am so very excited to be a part of this innovative group! I have perused the website and I am amazed and thankful to know that all of this will help me to grow and improve my painting skills. Thank you so much Gábor & Phil!"
