Thank you! This course was great at teaching the portions of a figure and the angles. I really enjoyed it and learnt enough to get me starting to be confident in nude figure painting. Thanks!

This is a follow-along course. It is a great tool for shifting from learning to doing, from studying to painting. The use of a painting as a reference image startled me at first. But then I remembered the traditional practice of learning by painting 'copies' of the paintings of the masters. This course is best appreciated in light of its specific focus. It is not a be all to everybody. It works very well in its intended role. Well done!
