I've recently finished their digital painting course last week and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The class begins with a small but informative lecture on that day's topic, and the rest of the class time is reserved for developing your own pieces. This was especially helpful as you could ask for suggestions on how to make your piece better during that time or learn tips to make drawing more efficient. Even though there are other students, it also feels like you are taught one-on-one too.

Great experience - my 14 year-old enjoyed the new skills in Digital Paining class and the time (9-12) was ideal (not too long). I can highly recommend it!
