 I so appreciate the care that you have taken to craft these lessons. They are wonderful at many different levels -- they are informative, creative and clever. A fan." Swati Mukerjee USA

 I have to write and say how much I'm enjoying the watercolour course. I've always wanted to paint and this course is helping and encouraging me so much, its great fun. J. Gardner UK

 "I have to tell you that I think I can throw away all of my useless watercolor books. Your lessons are terrific and the videos really make it -- so important to see someone do it instead of just having to read it and then try and figure it out.  And from a designer standpoint, I must tell you that the manner in which you assembled the printed pages is really wonderful -- so clear and a great format. I would not hesitate to recommend this to someone else. Wish you were in the States, would love to take a class from you in person, but this is surely the next best thing."  Donna McMenamin USA

 “I just wish I had a course like this available to me years ago when I embarked upon the first of many abortive missions to teach myself, all of which ended in frustration. The pace of learning and the gradual building of skills is just perfect, without becoming overwhelming, even for me - a busy person with my own business. Keep up the great work and thanks for helping to unravel the mysteries of techniques which now seem quite straightforward after your explanations and illustrations. James Whitehead UK

 “I have really enjoyed my art lessons. What you offer is outstanding. I like being able to go at my own pace. Thanks.
  Sally, California, USA

 "Andy, I so enjoy your lessons. I have learned more from you in just a few months than I have learned from several years of classroom instruction."
Sue Baker, UK

I wanted to mention how great the idea and plans were for the watercolour board. I had looked all over the internet for something to keep from having to tape down my paper, and could not afford any of what I found. I kept thinking there had to be a way to make one, and you saved me the trouble of figuring it out with what looks like the perfect plan. And the best part is being able to make it any size I want, so a bigger one for the studio and smaller ones to travel with. You are a genius! Thanks for everything, Lee Hernandez

 I have loved your courses! I took your acrylic one, then I signed up for your watercolor class. I also e-mailed you with a few questions, and you always got back to me. Your watercolor class is amazing and I love your top tips section. Christine Bellestri

I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the watercolour course. I can't believe how much I have already learnt. As a former teacher I am highly impressed with your course content, the presentation, the way you teach the different skills and techniques, the sensible balance of learning in each lesson, the progression of ideas and the way you build on skills learnt. The practical work is varied and interesting and achievable. The audio and video helps are a tremendous idea. They personalise the learning process and add motivation. I always maintained that I could never work in watercolour but you have proved me wrong. I am now on lesson 21 and have a little gallery of work around me that is giving me the encouragement to continue something each day.  Dot Westley, France

Many many thanks for designing and sending me the watercolour course. It is really great, with no head-scratching impasses from incompleteness or obscurity. I'm enjoying it a lot and it's making sure that I learn or have learnt the basic skills of watercolour painting.  You are an excellent teacher, as can be seen from your organization of the material and your clarity of style when presenting new material. Thank you! Tony Macelli, USA

 I've now completed my watercolour course with you and it has been absolutely fantastic. Your course has offered everything to me, a complete beginner. The detailed notes were easy to follow and the video clips showing techniques etc were very informative and just what I needed. I've loved the whole course and never thought I'd be able to produce some of the projects you set. My family and friends are very encouraging with what I've done which makes me just want to paint all the more.  So thank you very much for giving me a good ground base to go on and enjoy my painting. Janice Gardner, UK

My friend and I had been looking for an art course to do here on the Isle of Wight to no avail, when we found yours on the internet. We would like to say that we are delighted with it and pleased with the thoroughness of the subject matter. I realise already that even having studied art to A level there are considerable gaps in my knowledge about some of the most basic details. We meet once a week to paint and your course is providing with a much needed focus. Caroline Baty

I'm impressed with your Email help and getting a personal reply. Tony Prance

I would like to say how much I am enjoying both the Watercolour Course and Acrylics Course. I do feel I am slowly but surely learning a great deal. Two of my friends are also signed up with you, and we meet every Wednesday to follow your lessons and paint together. Valerie Cole
