Read MoreI’m brand new to the medium, and while online resources are plentiful, they’re all over the place. One can almost drown in ideas and opinions. Chris’ course broke it all down so clearly and honestly. He had me ready to paint and start learning skills! Thank you! As a bonus, he offers this course free of charge to all! No gatekeeping the basics! I am off to purchase more courses from him. Not sponsored, not paid, just appreciative!
