I highly suggest this course for who wish to learn acrylic painting. From this course , we can understand how colour theory works, how to choose colours from the colour wheel so that we can create a great combination and more importantly how to paint with acrylics from preparing drawing to the final varnish of our paints which includes a lot of step by step tutorial. I'm very much satisfied. ?

I could not make it the full size of my phone screen like i can on YouTube and i was unclear if we have to get the palette like he put together or can just use the masterson stay wet palette with the sponge and special paper

This course is without a doubt, the best course on painting I have taken. Joseph's style of painting and instructing is incredible. I learned so much about painting in this course, that I already see the benefits in my art. All my painting so far has been painted with digital media and I now feel like I'm ready for traditional media. I now truly understand the systematic, layering, sculptured, and use of values approach to painting. Even though I currently paint with digital media, I'm determined to paint with a traditional style. I used the style presented by Joseph as I followed along through the lectures. I am truly happy with the art I have painted using color mixing and the other painting techniques learned. I can now produce enjoyable art without the use of blend modes or color correction layers. Straight painting!!! I may have completed this course, but I'm not done with this course. For me, it's a course to watch over and over again. Thanks Joseph for this awesome, educational, and truly enjoyable course! Blessings! Rufus

Excellent course. I am a landscape pastelist and I can’t wait to use what I’ve learned to do my first acrylic landscape.

This is a great course!! I've been painting for about a year and have taken several classes. This is by far the most thorough, and I'm now a much better painter. Be warned, to get the most out of this course you'll need lots of patience. Some of the work is extremely detailed and can take many hours to complete. Hang with it! Doing the repetitive work required will 'bake in' skills, and they will become good habits. Good luck!!

Why don’t we use the trace paper directly over the photo reference material and copy the image features, instead of drawing the outline first and then copying by reverse superimposing of trace paper? That will save time and efforts.

I may feel challenged right now but I'll get the hang of it as I go along with this course and practice. Very useful and I've learned more techniques about how to improve my blending to make my paintings looks less or not streaky at all.

Yes, very helpful. I realize that I've been buying the wrong type of paint but my budget decides I'll be using it in this course. I've been motivated to clean up my brushes and I've had to buy a couple of things; like the gesso and the artists' tape. Instructor has a nice, clear voice - a pleasure to listen to.

Easy to follow step-by-step. It was especially useful to see mistakes and how to fix them. Loved the way he built on from one lesson to the next without over complicating each step.

I admire and respect the meticulousness, dedication and, last but not least, the honesty with which these courses are taught, which can produce an unexpected shift in the artistic evolution of a person who never thought she/he could paint in acrylic colors in a classical & realistic style.
