Ich kannte bereits die Bücher von Felix Scheinberger, bevor ich auf diesen Kurs gestoßen bin. Da mir seine Arbeiten sofort ins Auge gesprungen sind und ich seinen Stil sehr schätze, habe ich natürlich diesen Kurs sofort erworben. Es sind für mich sehr viele Anregungen und Tipps dabei, die ich nun versuche umzusetzen. Ich hoffe natürlich, dass künftig weitere Kurse von ihm hier angeboten werden.
What a fantastic course! Felix is a master of quick, colorful, and improvisational sketches. His way of instructing makes even what at first seems to be a unique or unusual method of drawing or painting fun and not intimidating. I loved the lessons and will definitely recommend Felix’s course to my friends.
