Student Experience

Messages we've received from our students

"Brianna Lee is an excellent instructor! She breaks down the steps in a way that a beginner or very advanced artist can understand and gain knowledge from. The course was much more informative than I expected. She truly teaches without holding back. I learned so much. The videos were great and Brianna has a lovely voice that wasn't distracting from the lessons ( big plus) Highly recommend!!!! Thank you Brianna, you've gained an admirer and a grateful student."

"Brianna was an excellent teacher. The lessons were thoughtfully laid out and included detailed, comprhensive instructions. I especially loved the anatomy and structure lessons along with the downloadable material for further practice and reference. My skills have definitely improved as a result of this course and I am looking forward to future tutorials."
