  • *Not* the course you've always wanted...

    I found this a complete disappoinment. The paintings used as examples are worse than mediocre, as is the instruction. If your idea of art is a third-rate getting card from 1973, then this may suit you, but perhaps not even then. There are *much* better painting courses out there at better prices (there's a hint in my review title as to what I'd recommend in place of this). I recommend you not waste money or time on this.
