Comments regarding comprehensiveness and completeness

My first goal with the Virtual Art Academy project was to gather information on how to paint from as wide a variety of sources as possible in this project and create a comprehensive knowledge base on painting for future generations. This is what my students say about this:

 

"I don't think there is another course that has as much detail and is as well organized as your course."
.........Maureen, USA, February 9, 2010

 

"What You are doing it is unbelievable. In Your program I found everything, I have read many books, but no one gives me so much information. This is wonderful! "
.........Rima, USA, July 9, 2009

 

"I have quite a few books on oil painting but they do not cover all the information that is in the course. Thank you so much for developing such an incredible program."
.........Priya, USA, March 14, 2010

 

"There are so many times, while reading, that I said wow. I’ve got so many books but none of them is so complete."
.........Demetris, Cyprus, December 18, 2009

 

"Have to tell you I am extremely impressed with the scope and information contained in the course. You obviously went to a lot of work to compile this and it will be a legacy for you!"
.........Dee, December 9, 2006

 

"Your courses are exactly what I needed, and I had seached for a long time for most comprehensive materials. I am confident to say that your courses are truly unique, honest, and written with so much passion.
".........Jo, USA, August 27, 2009

 

"I bought the complete course & this is the most detailed, complete, easy to understand, comprehensive program out there. I wish I would have found this sooner.".
........Extremely grateful student, May 1, 2009

 

"No one (except Barry) includes this sort essential content in their courses.(and I have tried lots.)"
.........B. Cox, Canada, April 16, 2009

 

"Your courses are the best, most comprehensive, and exciting courses I have found anywhere - in books, in class and/or on the internet. Thank you for compiling these for us. I always look forward to your newsletters and putting them into practice."
.........R. Bennett, USA, April 11, 2009

 

"As I approach age 80, I find your course to be the most instructive, useful and comprehensive investment I have yet made in support of transitioning my career from yacht designer/builder to full time artist --- I thank you for your effort and commitment to the Art Discipline."
.........Charley, USA, April 8, 2009

 

"I will learn far more from your course than from my 3 year fine arts degree. Thank you so much for putting it together"
.........Kerry Lymn, Darwin, Australia, February 18, 2009

 

"This is an in depth, extensive, comprehensive, practical and very revealing treatise on painting and art. I am very happy I bought it."
.........Patricia, Bulgaria, November 5, 2008

 

"Without a doubt, this is the most thorough, well written and illustrated art instruction I have encountered , including personal one-on-one instruction. My compliments to Barry. If only I had known about him 20 years ago I would have saved many wasted dollars spent at school and would now be a much more accomplished amateur artist."
.........Donald, USA, October 28, 2008

 

" I love all the concise yet, completeness. "
.........Kathy, September 1, 2008

 

"Its great. Some of the most comprehensive info I have ever come across!!!."
.........Gretchen, May 15, 2008

 

"As a beginning painter, I have looked for information in many places. I have found your information to be the best. Very complete and very well presented."
.........Paul, October 23, 2007

 

"Thanks for your Virtual Art Academy courses - I find their depth and presentation well adapted to satisfying my desire for more complete understanding than I get from most popular books, magazines, and even teachers who can do beautiful work but not explain it well."
.........David Kellam Brown, June 8, 2007

 

"Five years ago, I completed two Beginner’s Art Courses at a Community College, which proved to be very beneficial. However, over the next four years, I discovered that it was very difficult to find additional courses or material that would develop and build on I have just purchased a few weeks ago the Brushwork series. I am very impressed with the quality of the information!! It could be called "what you always wanted to know but couldn't find in any classes. "
.........Francine, May 3, 2007

 

"You have written the quintessential art instruction book, every bit as valuable as Carlson’s Guide To Landscape Painting - maybe even more so because it incorporates every aspect of painting! Every artist out there would benefit from its contents. I wonder if you realize what you have written? I eagerly look forward to any future courses, and hope to be back on track with the assignments soon. Wishing you all the best. "
.........Janet

 

"This is the stuff you can’t get in art school anymore, sadly. There’s no way your paintings can’t improve after this course. That’s how strongly I feel about it."
.........Bob Akers., Crystal Lake, IL, United States

 

"It is full of essential information on techniques and materials that you won’t find elsewhere, certainly not scattered at various sites on the internet! With the help of the logically presented courses in the Virtual Art Academy, you can’t help but make progress in your art work. I highly recommend them"
.........Audrey H, France and US

 

"Have been searching for years - purchasing books and materials trying to get the information that you have single handedly provided in an informative neatly organized manner . No more searching, you have covered it all! Thank you for taking the time to condense this vital information to enable me to succeed as an artist. Thanks again,"
.........Lily, Sunday, August 14, 2005

 

"This is such a thorough course - it is like having my own university at home "
.........Jane, February 10, 2007

 

"In 1986 I was received a BFA from Otis/Parson's Art Institute of Design. I majored in illustration and design, and had an awful time. When I found your art academy on the web, I felt I'd discovered the education I was expecting to get 20 years ago. Painting makes sense to me now. The ideas and concepts hang together. My work is improving. And I know the more I do the better I'll get."
.........Josh. October 20, 2006

 

"I find your courses really superb in two ways: first they are very complete and comprehensive, and second they go straight to the point, to the essentials. Both my wife and I paint and we both agree that these art instruction courses are one of the best sources of education for people who want to learn to paint in a direct or alla prima style."
.........Bernado Martin, Alicante, Spain
