"I have wonderful impressions from the course; it’s the best one about color and light so far."
I took this course to build a stronger foundation because color, light, and atmosphere are essential in any painting. I gained even more than I expected. Before the course, I had some intuitive knowledge about how things worked, but the information from the lectures helped me organize everything logically and understand how light and color work. It allowed me to better control and manipulate the atmosphere in my illustrations, knowing what to pay attention to. This course gave me a more thoughtful approach to art and creativity in general.

Amazing course, with a lot of useful information. It expands your mind! In all the previous courses, I was taught a clear, sequential pipeline: line, clean line, occlusion, shadows, light, and then rendering in grayscale. Here, the emphasis is on conveying atmosphere and mood through light and color. I was impressed by how this can be done almost without rendering, using just minimally textured brushes, which we were also provided with. The best course I've ever taken, pure delight!

“An amazing course. I wish I had taken it earlier when I first started working with color. The lectures break down the material in an organized manner. I systematized my knowledge and learned several new things. I really liked Misha's approach in the reviews, where he first encouraged us to figure out how to improve our work by asking ourselves the right questions, and only then did he offer his suggestions. Misha's approach to drawing was also very inspiring: he tried and discarded many different options before arriving at the best one! In many educational materials, the author does everything smoothly without exploration or mistakes, making it seem like the drawing process should be like that, but it's not! After this course, my fear of making mistakes completely disappeared. I also want to highlight the friendly and productive atmosphere of the entire course. After it, I feel inspired to draw more, reflect, and implement my ideas. Huge thanks to Misha Oplev for this!”
Milena Vasyukova
"I was really looking forward to the start of the course and every week I pestered the administrators with my questions)) I can say one thing - it was worth the wait. The course gave me everything I expected and much more. Misha is an amazing mentor, his love for his craft is contagious and inspires great achievements. It’s fantastic that the course is aimed not only at developing skills but also at fostering the right mindset."

“It was a real journey where I felt like a Viking warrior! There was fun during the first assignments, tears after feedback when everything seemed terrible, and ultimately the joy of victory when the final project turned out well. I am very grateful to Misha for making the course not only about skills but also about life and the reasons why we create. It emphasized the importance of being yourself and not becoming a copy of someone else. I thought I would just improve my composition skills, but in the end, I experienced a rebirth as an artist. Of course, my skills improved significantly. After the course, my work receives more feedback on social media, with comments like "I love the colors" or "great lighting in this piece." I see it myself too—everything I did before now feels like it should be put away for comparison, and I feel like reworking my entire portfolio. So, be prepared for major changes if you’re not afraid to walk the Viking's path, hehe.”
