Our Verdict
Impressionism - Paint this Italy Scene in Oil or Acrylic is an engaging, informative e-learning experience that places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and technique application. It caters well to a variety of artistic skill levels while providing valuable theoretical knowledge. Minor improvements could include further elaboration on specific impressionistic techniques, tailored material information for those purchasing supplies online, and an option to view the reference photo consistently throughout video lessons. While there is always room for growth, Christopher Clarke's course offers students an exceptional opportunity to explore the foundational principles of Impressionism through a captivating painting project.

Potential Drawbacks
