I have done lots of courses over many years. This is the most descriptive and helpful one one ever! I am learning so much. I have not completed the course yet but am loving it at every stage. I have done art forever but portraits are new to me. I'm so pleased I found Jonathon Yeo's course. I hope there will be more in depth teaching from Jonathon Yeo on BBC Maestro ~ PLEASE!! Sincerely Myrna CARR

Yeo is clearly a brilliant artist and I greatly admire his work. However, there is far too much talking in the course and not nearly enough instruction of technique and method. When the lesson is just talking, which is often, the videos are too long and it is hard to remain interested. They become more about the different camera angles that the director is using and their ability to go in and out of focus. I am impressed by Yeo’s work but would like more hard facts.

As a novice painter I really appreciated hearing about Jonathan Yeo's process and seeing his process up close. In particular, it was great to see how he critiques his own work.

I am loving this course! I am very interested in portaiture and have sketched a few since childhood, but never been brave enough to attempt painting them, particularly with oils, the thought scares me! So, I am very impressed with the structure of this course with the addition of notes with all the lessons to download. Everythng is broken down and explained with great clarity and simplicity so even a beginner like myself, is already feeling less daunted after a few sessions. The videos are relaxed and informal, while the live demonstrations with a sitter are fascinating to watch. I feel completely inspired to give this a go and look forward to using colour for the first time. Thank you Jonathan, so interesting!
