What Our Clients Are Saying

"Charles did not just 'show' - he broke the techniques down to very simple steps. Lots of artists do tutorials on Youtube and just pontificate, but Charles is able to talk through his actual thought processes as he works - a real change to find an artist who can teach !! I love the 'detail' he gives, and the gentle, considered approach as he paints and gives his instructions..."
Dave, UK
"...Already just his advice on brush work, holding the palette, flicking the water - I could see improving what I am doing wrong.Practising his brush technique last night, I finally started to 'get it'… FINALLY felt control of the brush as opposed to relying on luck. :-) Certainly going to enjoy and give time to this course, and tell my friends at the Art forum as well."
Dave, UK
"This is very inspirational instruction and well worth the money. The work of Charles Reid is inspirational in its own right, but to have the master Charles Reid's live instruction at arms length is awesome."
Scott, in Seattle, WA
"The DVDs are brilliant - excellent clear photography and his delivery is delightful in such a relaxed style, easy to follow and makes you want to give it a go. Am a very happy customer - can't wait to watch all 3 DVDs (gardening and housework will have to wait!)"
