Testimonials:
"Painting alla prima portraits from life is like a workout, Sean Cheetham says. It’s like doing pushups or going to the gym. This excellent video workshop feels like having Sean as your personal trainer. The step-by-step explanations are lucid, the presentation and production value is absolutely first rate. Sean had me incorporating colors in my palette that I would never have imagined. His direct, painterly approach was a real antidote to some of the more laborious techniques I have tried in the past. I hope to hold on to this spontaneity, and will certainly be adding new elements and structure to my color work. This is a video that I will be returning to time and time again as I hone my portraiture skills. For an aspiring painter looking to complement their own curriculum with masterful input, I can't think of a better source than NOH/WAVE/ACADEMY." - Romas Tauras
