I found your site and your lessons have been invaluable. Three years ago I decided to give it a try. I was one of those people who always said 'I can't draw' and I never thought I could learn. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you do for the art community, and especially for aspiring artists like me. You should be very proud of your accomplishments as a teacher as well as your artistic talent.' - Ron Most of your video modules that range around 12 - 20 minutes, just right in my opinion. Finally, you tell them what they should have learned. You tell them what they are going to be taught. Your teaching mythology is just first rate. 'I'm compelled to let you know how impressed I am with your courses, not only as a new art and drawing student but as an individual with years of adult training experience. Your courses provide such a strong base to work off of and develop skills, I plan on using them as reference for the years to come. Your positive and motivational advice and expertise was a blessing and I want to thank you for being the type of person that you are and supporting people's dreams and passions. When I wanted to develop my drawing and art skills your videos were exactly what helped me do so. I applied to The School of the Arts Institute of Chicago and not only got accepted but received a full scholarship & some more. I put together a very strong portfolio and sent off my applications almost 3 months before my expected deadline and already got accepted. I easily created over 30 pieces and took your advice on breaking off from the videos and created my own pieces. With your guidance on portfolios and self direction I was able to finish your Watercolor Workshop, Colored Pencil Course, and start on the Oil Painting Mastery course.

I reached out to you a while back regarding art school and I want you to know how much the personal response/video you made for me helped and directed me.

'Hi Matt, I wanted to send you a quick thank you email. Matt is an excellent instructor and the videos are hands on, superbly paced, and perfectly executed. 'This is without a doubt the most amazing online experience I have ever had.
