Jon does a super job of explaining his painting process and, specifically, why he does what he does in each phase. He also emphasizes, very well, the important take-aways from each demo, such as working from broad to more specific.

This is the course I've been searching out for quite a while. If you see Jon's art, you know he knows his stuff. When I finished the course I had a good jump-off point to understanding building up layers for art in the acrylic paint medium. It is a good course.
