“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 know I'll be able to implement some of the ideas as I move forward with identifying which creative pursuits I would like to explore further as new hobbies.”

“I’m not all the way through yet, but I’d liked to have seen more information like does he use Acrylic to prime the canvas with colour or just oil? Whilst his sitter is a lovely handsome gentlemen, I would have preferred to see a sitter of Caucasian extraction as the colours are much more difficult to get right. Also the face and background meld a lot so difficult to see what exactly he’s painting. I feel he’s doing this but also worried about future competition.”
