Matt and Ashley,

I’m a new member to your site and this is my first painting following your lesson. I’m so happy and proud of what I did I presented it in my painting class at the senior center. They love it too. I wish you make more of these landscape classes using water-soluble oil paints.

Thank you for this wonderful lesson. I learned to use limited palette and glazing. Love it.

Matt,
I listened with interest to the discussion in lesson 5 about your experience with internet changes through the years, and the changes in which consumers access information.
What was it about your free videos that made me want to sign up for your courses? Yes, it was the reasonable costs, but more especially, it was the careful instruction geared towards the novice I was, with a big helping dose of what I could become. Your friendly frankness and candid conversation with Ashley eeks out art instruction in an easy-to-grasp manner. Also, the platform structure itself is user-friendly. It is obvious you earn every penny!
I have learned immense and can sense your love for teaching art.
Thank you.
I hope Google doesn’t take away this opportunity from people like me and teachers like you and Ashley.
God bless you richly!
Rhonda Smith

I too am enjoying this “class” on the landscape by Ashley. His mixing style of the water soluble oils is very exacting and I appreciate this tremendously! Thank you for that sharing Ashley.
I started with oils on the sky and clouds and tried to add water soluble later but oils were mostly dry in spots and so did not blend well. I later waited till fully dry and painted over with water soluble oils and doing the rest with this medium. It is so nice for clean up and my brushes thank you for this new paint!
Love all I learned from these courses and from the valuable lessons elsewhere on you TVI courses!
Thank you Matt for doing all these hours of work for us…and we know it is HOURS! !!

Ashely and Matt: I am really enjoying this course as it nicely complements the Oil Painting Master Course that is here on the website. As I near completion of an oil painting course on another website, I am returning here to find once again the comfort of your teaching styles. It is a welcome relief. The use of a limited palette is also much appreciated. The other course uses Old Holland oil paints which are very expensive and do not make as much sense as the palette established in the Virtual Instructor course with warm and cool color selections. I have not seen anywhere online the level of technical skill and teaching style that is so enjoyable. Thank you!

I can only find getting sketchy videos up to season twelve, where could I find the rest?

In reply to Teresa C. Hi Teresa, You can certainly use acrylics, but acrylics dry very quickly so blending on the canvas may present a challenge.

I do not do oils but have acrylics. would it be advisable to try this lesson series with acrylics? If so, I will work on catching up by next week.
