“A very thorough approach to the topic. A lot of food for thought and very accessible. Could possibly have been condensed into fewer or shorter sessions.”

“I regret I found this course rambling. It was obvious that Jonathan Yeo has to sit chatting about his work for hours with his sitters, and it felt like that. He spoke reasonably well but it was a course about Jonathan Yeo, portrait painter rather than portrait painting with Johnathon Yeo. I was hoping for more practical advice and inspiration.”

“I think Jonathan Yeo was doing his best to talk about portrait painting, but thats the problem. Too much talk. Dull. Boring. Not sufficiently engaging and dynamic. To make this better you need to engage the audience, let them pose questions, options for discussion. Be part of it. Listening to someone drone on. Kill me now. !!!”

“The course is an interesting insight into portrait-painting. Jonathan Yeo does not teach you how to paint portraits so much as introduce you to his style and his personal development as an artist. The course is designed to encourage creativity rather than follow a step-by-step tutorial. Jonathan gives the viewer guidance from his own experience about what may help with their own first attempts.”

“This isn't what you think it is, there are no lessons as such, it's just Jonathan Yeo talking about his life as an artist, who he's painted, his exhibitions, how he started etc etc.
If you're looking for some sort of lessons this isn't it, even though the various chapters are titled lessons.
Quite disappointing really, he's a brilliant artist, don't get me wrong and so I thought I would be learning something, however I didn't. It could be my ADHD or autism, but I found no classes or lessons and judging by some of the other reviews, they didn't either!”
