Thank you for your kind words, Beth. The folks whom it has been my pleasure to instruct are very supportive.
The boot camp is (obviously) not a "learn to paint like --(your favorite artist)" kind of course. What it is, is systematic analysis for dealing with color values in order to render realistically from life. Clarity of understanding how to approach painting from life results from working out solutions to the problems presented in each day's painting practice.
Certainly the course offers a definite jump-start for a beginner, but experienced painters and not a few professionals who have taken the course seem to benefit even more from the fresh viewpoint the boot camp course provides, because they are familiar with battling the problems each practical addresses.
Layered into the instruction are logical methods for setting the studio and lighting the subject to insure your success, and a wealth of simplified, factual information on paint, mediums, tools, materials and brushes that ends confusion and provides solid foundation for making paint handle as you command.
