Read MoreI have been following Master Marcos for a long time. I adore his art. With this course I have leart many tips about painting a portrait and watercolor. The most I liked to apply working with 2 brushes one is dry and soften the ages with that. Also the layering protocol was awesome. Thank you Marcos. Waiting a course about painting water soon :)

Read MoreI learned so much during this course it felt like a whole new world opened up to me! A lot of it was really basic stuff such as how you do layers, what angle the paper should be in, how you’re supposed to always work from top to bottom etcetera. But to me it was really useful as no one has explained this to me before. The pdf was also amazingly helpful. I’m really excited to get going with my next project and utilize all that I’ve learnt. Thank you! I hope more tutorials will be released.

Read MoreWatercolour is, in my opinion, one of the most difficult mediums to paint with and this workshop is a treasure trove of valuable information (especially the extensive pdf) for any figurative painter. Marcos is not only a marvellous watercolorist but also a wonderful teacher. And again, video and sound quality are superb. I highly recommend!

Read MoreWhen I was a child, I dreamed of drawing and painting. I always felt emotional and had a lot to express, so watercolor made that possible in its fluidity and delicacy. We almost never have the opportunity to get to know the work and genius of an artist like Marcos, so having been able to experience this moment is something surreal and rewarding for me, because, coming from a humble family in the city of São Paulo, we don't always believe that our dreams are valid and possible to come true, so I am immensely grateful for the opportunity. Thanks to Professor Marcos and especially to Art Escape for ensuring that art is always available to everyone in a democratic and inclusive way.

Read MoreI've been watching Marcos Beccari for a long time and I was mesmerised by his ability to match colours in his artworks. This course gave me the understanding of Marcos's creative process. The most important part of this course is the pdf-file with recommendations on how to build color schemes and this part was extremely helpful for me.
