This is definitely a 5 star! I have taken many many courses but Mike you have consolidated so much for me. The two brush system, along with the wonderful limited colour palette is a game changer. Working on board, which I love but will now sand a canvas to make it smooth. Your drawing methods also is a game changer. The added direction of taking photos is much appreciated.
Your work and gift of teaching is as special as you are Mike and I’m glad Kara found you and has put this together. This is my fourth and always learn something new. Thank you to both of you . Ellie

Wow!! I cannot believe the wealth of knowledge in this course! Mike was so generous with his insights and advice. So many tips on things from surfaces to brushes to techniques to photos to correcting mistakes. He hides nothing and it was refreshing. I laughed out loud a few times. Mike has a great attitude and sense of humor. Throwing in an entire second painting was a great bonus. 5 stars for sure. One of the best courses I’ve ever taken. Thanks Kara for helping make this happen!

I have taken two courses from Michael Carson. Besides being an amazing artist, he is a wonderful teacher. I love the way he talks throughout the painting and you can easily follow his thought and decision making process. I have learned a lot about shapes and values by taking his course. Michael holds nothing back and is so generous with his tips and explanations on the beauty of a limited palette. I highly recommend this course for all levels.

5 stars for sure! I took Mike’s other class and there is always something to learn from him. He is a wonderful teacher, funny, and just pleasant to learn from. His limited signature color palette is so pleasing and easy to use, his drawing and painting instruction makes an easier start to finish the next time you begin a painting. Take this class! It is packed with advice and valuable instruction!

Michael Carson has been my favorite artist for a number of years before he was on Kara’s websites. My father had a Jazz Orchestra and my mom was the quintessential 1940’s beauty. So I have always liked painting from that era. Michael’s work reminds me of that era. I loved his bathing suit paintings and my fav-the women with many dots. I was so amazed when his first class from Kara popped up. I have now taken both workshops and they were everything I’d hoped for. Loved the model session. Both workshops were great. I liked his “narration”. In education, we called that a think aloud and it is a very effective tool to help students understand his thinking process as he paints. I hade hoped in the second workshop that he did not switch parts of the reference (hair of one-arm of another) as in the first workshop. Michael also explained his lighting. I could not resist this class even though I am taking Let’s face it 24. It was an amzing class from an amazing artist.

Enrolling in Michael’s figure painting course has been a transformative experience for my art. Despite being just over halfway through my first round, I’m already planning to revisit it multiple times. Michael’s distinctive style has been a longtime inspiration for me, even before I knew his name.
A key revelation for me has been Michael’s approach to simplifying the painting process by flattening the image and focusing on precise shapes and placements. His effortless method of navigating the initial stages, employing graphing and measuring for early corrections, has significantly enhanced my painting experience. This emphasis on foundational elements keeps the process enjoyable and helps maintain a sense of looseness and awareness.
One of Michael’s strengths lies in his skillful use of color, showcasing the pivotal role of value. His palette choices beautifully illustrate the importance of this aspect in creating impactful artwork.
The effectiveness of his photo shoot, paired with a great model, greatly contributed to the course’s success. While attempting it myself, I encountered challenges in achieving the remarkable results he effortlessly achieves. Throughout the course, I received a wealth of valuable pointers that have enriched my artistic efforts .
Michael’s engaging instructions and pleasant personality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the course. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend this transformative experience for any aspiring artist.
