This is so good. I hope I can get level two on a discount because this is usually like 40 bucks. Also, I hope he teaches more, here or on his website. I don’t mind either. I love the style.

There was not enough content in this course. It should have been listed as for very beginners--not suitable for those with basic watercolor knowledge. The course was too simplistic, not very professionally presented and didn't provide a satisfying completed project. I was disappointed enough that I'm nervous about buying any more udemy course.

I am learning so much about glazing that I never understood before, and realizing where I have been making mistakes. The blue apple exercise is amazing! I think some parts may be a bit confusing for a complete beginner, but if you stick with it will begin to make more sense. I've been painting for a few months and indeed struggling to achieve the image I see in my mind. Learning these basics will be a huge help! Thank you for a great course!

I loved the lectures. I had never painted a scene before. The country
road was a challenging exercise. I need more practice but am not dissatisfied with my first attempt. I look forward to a second video.
