I was hoping for lessons in how to paint, but so far it is just talk. I'll leave another review when the course is finished.

It is more like an interview with Yeo than an art course. Very sparse on instruction or demonstration and the course notes are simply a reiteration of what is said in the videos. I. Was expecting more in-depth detail. I learned very little and am more than disappointed.

What was your primary motivation for purchasing this course? Achieve career goals
I've enjoyed a successful career in graphic design for over two decades, but am keen to one day return to my first passion - painting! Art school seems like a lifetime away, so it's been fascinating, and enjoyable, to gain some valuable insights into Jonathan's processes. This has really helped give me confidence in the way that I work and to continue experimenting. Thank you Jonathan

What was your primary motivation for purchasing this course? Pursue a hobby
The course wasn’t what I was expecting as I thought it would be more practical. However I did find it interesting to hear Jonathan speak and provide his thoughts. It was more a mentoring lecture course than a painting course. I think I learnt quite a few things from it and ideas - I liked hearing how he got into portrait painting and how he approached various things such as lighting choosing a subject how to capture a likeness. Some bits were a bit repetitive. I thought it was quite expensive for essentially an interview

I too paint, so the subject intrigues me. I can listen to discussions for hours. I appreciate his style and conversation.
