Your brilliant landscape work has really recharged my batteries, as I have retired from clinical medical practice and now paint, compose soundtrack music, teach bonsai and fly a drone like you!  Thank you for all the great things you are doing for artists and illustrators like myself!

First off, thank you for coming up with the online tutorials.  I think you are going to revolutionise and modernise a field via internet.  Brilliant, you are the first!  You have been one of my favourite artists and to be given instruction, in my own home for a small price, by someone I admire, is beyond belief.  Others will follow, I guarantee.  You have opened a new world to me and I just want to say thank you.

First of all, THANK YOU for your online course!  I started following Bob Ross 1 and a half years ago and then Kevin Hill, but I have to say that, after only 2 tutorials with you, my painting is now so much more detailed and pretty.  I still can’t believe that I was able to paint them myself!

Dear Michael, I am so pleased that I am a member of your online art classes. You are my favourite artist and you have taught me so much. I think that not only are you a wonderful talented artist, but you are a great teacher too, you have so much patience to teach how to realistically paint every detail, and you have a calm and soothing voice and mannerisms. I do thank you sincerely for all that you have done to help me paint to the best of my ability.
