Thank you for creatively and knowledgeably inspiring me to expand my horizons. I am absolutely LOVING the online modules, the wealth of information, the way you have so thoughtfully set it all up: to contemplate, listen and watch as often as I want and do exercises that reinforces the learning.
I like how it inspires creativity and reminds me that there are no barriers. It doesn’t have to be difficult. You have encouraged me to get started and try out different things!
Kato’s Art Course is packed with information. Everything from the most important, and less extravagant supplies, to inspiration for painting and freedom of expression. Her videos are very clear and interesting, and the technology is user friendly. I have been inspired to go further with my artistic endeavours and try different techniques.
I really like the idea of creating a painting as a process of problem-solving. Watching you go through the process from beginning to end and explaining each step (i.e. identifying the problem and then implementing the solution) was extremely interesting and useful. I could watch this for hours!!
