Dear Matt, this course is fantastic! I wish that I had visited earlier on my art journey. The car just was so intimidating that I shyed away. Just finished the “square if patience” whitch took me about 4,5 hours.

You hoped, your studends might have a “aha” moment.

You were absolutely right. Not only one, but several “ahas”! This square if patience tought me more than I wouod have imagined.

Just threw my intimidation into the bin.
You can draw anything!!!

Thank you for this fabulous time you are gifting to your students.

Dear Matt,
I finally decided tomchallenge me with this course. You offer a life long study possibility, which is precious. My husband is so happy for me having found TVI. I hope to improve my observation skills, hand-eye coorditation and of course my drawing skills with this lesson.
Thank you so much for everything you do and are,
Buddy

I am so glad that I found you online. I have been drawing since old enough to hold a pencil, but as I got older, I have never been happy with my work. Looking at this course has showed me what I have been doing wrong. Your classes are awesome because you are so good at what you do. I recently signed up, so there is much to cover. Thankfully, I am retired and this fills my time because it’s what I love to do. Thank you!!

Hi Matt – I have a question about the value section. Looking at the cast shadow of the ball ( or sphere), there is a highlight in the back part of the shadow…if we consider the photo as “flat”, it is at the top of the cast shadow. Where does this highlight come from? Thanks.

In reply to Susan Florentino. Awesome glad to hear, Susan! Learning the boundaries of the medium is important too.

The Square of Patience exercise was as enlightening, as promised. I finished slightly before two hours, but found my paper was overworked. Seems I had gotten too intense with the 2H and mangled the paper a bit. Also, on the texture swatches yesterday my supposed 2H mechanical pencil actually had some leftover 2B. I finally got this figured out today, but was not used to the feel of the 2H. Live and learn:) These are great lessons because they have the perfect mix of challenge and reward. I really liked what you said about finishing a section in order to feel a small sense of satisfaction.
