Here you can see what others have gained from participating in the course:

♥ “I had never painted a portrait before before I started the course. I thought it was way too hard as i am not very good at drawing and I was afraid to work with shadows. The course has broken down some limitations I had in me.”

- Isabelle

Here you can see the portrait Isabelle painted during the course.

♥ Thank you for a very inspiring course.

I have not painted a portrait before, but this makes me want to paint more portrait paints.

- Gro

Here you can see one of Gro's grandchildren, which she had painted during the course.

♥ The course was incredibly rewarding for me.

I have painted a few portraits before and always struggled to get the right skin tone so it was liberating and artistically rewarding to only work with two colors. In my case, paynes gray and white.

It surprised me a lot how many effects it was possible to produce partly with the dark background and by mixing only two colors

Anne and Jesper, with their good mood and good approach to teaching, led us students safely through the different techniques: transfer of motif, building up the individual elements of the face eyes, nose, mouth, hair and shadows, so we each got painted our individual monochrome portraits.

- Marianne

♥ I think it was such a good course. I feel so taken by the hand and helped step by step. It's great to get the craft side into the teaching. It provides an opportunity to see your own development and not least where there is a need to train skills. I have seen the videos several times, and discover something new in them every time.
- Anna Lise

♥ I like the disciplined approach that Anne has shown us. It somehow provides a safe reassurance that "you get to the finish line". Especially the remarks about: "Now we do this and that, but it is not so important that it becomes completely accurate, because we return to the area", have made me relax during the process.
- Majlis

- Maiane

♥ I am especially happy to see the anarchist Anne jump around in the painting and do a little here and there, while there is always a sharp eye for the coherence of the painting. Super liberating.
- Knud
