Hey, You Can Do All of This! (and I'm here to help)
"I Wanted to say thank you so much for creating Design Fundamentals for the Artist - I am so thankful! I started with your book and recently purchased Design Fundamentals for the Artist. I had to write to let you know how much I appreciate the easy to understand, concise information that has completely transformed my work! I have been painting abstracts for a couple of years, but with no formal art training or background - your course provided exactly the foundation I needed for things to start coming together. Thank you so much - these videos are essential for someone like me, who is having fun creating abstract art but lacks the educational background in design."

"I just completed the Design Fundamentals course and it was great. I have never learned things like this in all of the courses I've taken and videos I've seen. Like you say, its the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. I'm 65 and started painting when I was 12 and I have never enjoyed it as much as I do applying what I've learned from you. The other thing I appreciate is that things are presented succinctly so that don't have to wade through hours of video to learn the key points."
