Real Reviews From Real People
Each step of the painting was explained very well.
This painting has a lot of smaller details in it, so you will need to plan for time accordingly. I also suggest to "trust the process". I did this for a yoga retreat sip and create flow and we loved it, but it was definitely more pleasing to look at from a distance than close up for all of us. The final picture with all the details together is definitely worth the smaller details to build toward it. The instructor is very knowledgeable and she was very good at reminders to make it our own. That being said, some of the instruction was very fast without thoughtful break/pause points. You may need to be quick with the pause button at times. I currently have my painting hanging in my den and it gives me a serene moment whenever I look at it. II escape back to the retreat and to the location in the painting. Not sure I would do this painting again for this purpose, but I did love the experience!
I went white water rafting and painted this for the lesder of our raft. It was fun to paint and he appreciated it!
It was definitely a more challenging painting to do but my son and I are both artists so we really enjoyed it! Loved learning the technique for doing the birch trees! Looking forward to doing our On The Waterfront next and will definitely buy more in the near future!
This is my 4th painting done from this site. This was probably my favorite. Did it with my friend at the lake over a few drinks. Definitely had to pause it a few times .
Couldn't load more reviews. Try again in a moment.
