... This course was INCREDIBLE! Mike’s teaching was so thorough and as a beginner I was very well supported but yet extended. The artwork came out so well and Mike was such a passionate teacher. I have walked away with so many skills regarding colour mixing, mapping out landscape artworks and how to build tone and texture. Cannot recommend this course more highly. Thank you Mike for sharing your skills and helping me create an artwork I’m very proud of! Jessica T - Feb 2026
