Read MoreJust watching this course is a treat. The videos for the class content use split screens so we can see the work as the instructor paints, the palette as it's being used, and the primary source photo. The audio is clear. Very professional. Mr Einarsson is personable in his presentation and the information he provides has been helpful for me, especially the pre-painting content on composition and design. And as soon as I saw that he was self-taught and that Richard Schmid was an artist/teacher he admires, I was hooked. I highly recommend this class for artists, even those who are not landscape painters. There is enough information from finding an interesting subject to varnishing the finished work for anyone who is looking for a course about color, value, and technique.

Read MoreI liked this Course very much. Thorgrimur talkes about blending colors, values and tones. Encourages to paint loosely and teaches pallet knife technique. He encourages us to practice and practice and to be brave to add our own little personal touch to our paintings. Nothing is right or wrong, everybody has their own style and a way to express their art. I love his artwork and I will recommend this course to others. Thank you, Inga

Read MoreThis workshop is really well put together. Thorgrimur is a talented teacher who is able to break down complex techniques in a way that is easy to understand. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to improve their painting skills, I particularly enjoyed his use of the palette knife to adjust the texture and shapes, and his demonstration using software to come up with the composition and color.
