When I first signed up, imagine my delight hearing that a new course was starting. A course in my preferred medium! It has been a pleasure learning from you Matt. Thank you for for sharing your time and talent with us.

Hi there
There are no book 22 attached, is this correct?
Correct.
Congratulations on a brilliant course. I have watched all the episodes before even putting pencil to paper so I know what I’m going to be completing, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the viewing. I’ve also learned a lot just by watching 🙂
Next step… actually completing the projects 🙂
Thanks Matt I loved the course and created some good work. Thank you
hi my name is Ibolya and i am from Perth western Australia and a friend referred me to this site/course and i am loving every minute of what i have watched so far. I have been wanting to learn how to draw for ever and now with this great teaching and watching…. i am a watch and do person…(sorry cant remember the actual name of a person like that..) i know exactly where to start and practice to become better. Matt you must have put a lot of effort into doing all this and want to say you have done a great job. thank you.
Greatly enjoyed the class. Felt I have learned a lot more knowledge than before
As a member of this great site it has broadened my artistic scope in several mediums. While the cost for this program increased for the first time, I still find it is a huge benefit given the many various applications and wonderful instructions that are given for various mediums. Matt has put together a fantastic and varied program for beginners and advanced artists. What I love most is the ability to have continued access to all the different tutorials and, as a bonus, Matt is always willing to answer questions we students might have as we go along. This is my third year as a virtual instructor member. As a student I’ve increased my artistic abilities, as well, I’ve been able to teach others what I’ve learned and broadened in my own style of work. Thanks, Matt, for offering such a benefit for artists to grow in their abilities and learning how to love the joy of art making.
Thank you … I’m learning : )and loving it!
I love everything about this site. If ever I have a spare minute I go to it and learn something new or relearn something that is now new. Matt, my only suggestion is that you somehow post a larger drawing of the finished product. For this I mean….I am working on the wine bottle still life, and could really appreciate a larger picture than you are showing. Perhaps that means I am relying on your work too much? Thanks so much for pulling me back to art. You also feel not like a teacher but a good friend.
Hi Karen,
Thanks for your wonderful comments and your suggestion.
Thank you, Matt, for the excellent lessons in rendering colored pencil. It is a good medium for illustrating children’s books and you so clearly demonstrated some of the procedures that caused me to struggle…especially the underpainting for producing different shades of green in an all green landscape. It will help to give color variation to an orchard of Granny Smith apples.
My facorite lesson was Willie. My husband was really impressed with my work on that one. Ioved it. You have a beautiful dog right down to the twinke in his eye. I bet he’s a lot of fun. I’m going to paint a picture of our Papillion, Cody.
In my drawing classes students often ask me how much practice I require from them. My question back to them is “How good do you want to be?” I agree with you. Practice is the key to better work – not only in art. Thank you for a great class. I’m looking forward to my next one. pj

raquel
I brought up a problem some time ago on a different course and if I received a reply, I don’t know how to access it. (And I have forgotten which course/module it was.) My problem is that my computer (a MacBook pro with MacOS Sierra software) does not play the videos no matter which version I choose. Is there a special program I need to download to play your videos?
Can you answer me with an email to my email address? I think you have it in your computer under my profile.
Marc
Hi Marc,
I’ll send an email to you as well. It sounds as though you having trouble playing the downloaded files – is this correct? Your Mac will already have Quicktime installed and you should not need an additional program. That being said, if you want to try another one for playing the video files, you can try the open source VLC player. It’s free. You can download it here…https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
Are you seeing the files after you download them? When you open them, what is the error message?
Excellent course! Well worth the money.
Matt – I got more info from your “conclusion” video than all the other courses I’ve taken over 30 years. So, for the New Year, I am sending a huge thank you.
I really enjoyed these videos and found them very informative. You’re a gifted teacher. Can you tell me what kind of paper you used on the portrait videos of the girl, please. Thanks.
Hi Bernice,
It is Strathmore Bristol paper with the vellum surface.
Thank you Matt, I loved this course and learned so much. It was a blast. Cyndi
Thank you for this course. I’ve learned so much from your lessons and courses that I have completed so far. You explain many things that other instructors just take for granted. My drawing skills have greatly improved very quickly.
H ow do I get to the books attached to colored pencil? Thanks Janet E llis
Hi Janet,
Links to download the ebooks for each lesson are found under the “Resources” tab underneath each video. The conclusion video does not include an ebook.
Hi, good evening all of you: I am Humberto, from Central America. I started with visual arts at the age of 17 when a friend who had studied art in the USA invited me to share with him at his house when he created the most fantastic art pieces with inks and markers.
At age 19 I tried to make it myself at a local art school, but a family tragedy took me to the side of depression and sadness. At age 20 I tried it at the local architecture faculty, but I failed.
I decided to go on my own and practice some of the advice my friend imparted to me.
Here I am, 43 years later. Matt, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Wow, what a great course. I’ve learned so much. Now I’m going to go interview pictures to draw so I can apply some new techniques you’ve taught.
Would you sometime create a pencil drawing course strictly devoted to landscapes and waterscapes? I’d love that!
