I love the way Jean Haines presents her videos. She is so calm and gentle I instantly feel relaxed. For me this is important because I absorb more and I connect easily with the subject. The tutorials build on each other so it is always a good idea to work through the lessons in order. There is no sketch! For me this is a major plus. Learning the start point – the feature that is the centrepiece of the composition – using the paint brush to measure and find angles, allowing me to look at any subject anywhere and start to paint.
There are so many positives that if you are interested in a more relaxed atmospheric style this would be the class for you.
