I was painting from Jerry Yarnell books and they were turning out very nicely. but every time I tried to paint my own painting, they looked like garbage. I started reading book after book, but then I found the Virtual Art Academy. I bought the full course and it has helped with my transition from being a copier, to an artist. I can design, and paint beautiful paintings now. I find the course very logic, well thought out, the exercises help to teach the lessons, so make sure you do the lessons. Reading the lessons, then painting the exercises help to transition the knowledge learned by reading into instinct. The next time you need a technique, it's there automatically because the lesson was internalized. If you're wanting to become a better artist, this course, and signing up for the online workshop will help to make you a much better artist. Haveing input from the other students makes it more like taking an acredited course. You get the same great eduction, at a fraction of the cost. I can't say enough great things about Virtual Art Academy. Thanks BARRY! Your course has certainly change my life as an artist. Donald Smith
