"As a plein air painter I dived in over my head here! I knew that after Plein Air Live I was in for top notch teaching and education. I am glad I got the 60 days. I will need that to really digest the content. I didn't hesitate a moment to sign up for Watercolor Live as a result of the excellent product you are producing."

"I learned so much that I didn’t know! I didn’t know how to determine my gap for where I am now to where I want to go until this conference. I now know what to do to begin shoring up the gap and improving. There was a lot of styles demonstrated and I enjoyed them all. I connected with Rose Frantzen’s style the most. I bought her video and several others. I pl..." Read more

"It's really a unique moment. The possibility to see and hear the greatest painters of the world, and even to interact with them! Not expensive for the amount of information, the inspiration and the energy it gives you! Moreover, to break the loneliness of the artist's life in "salons", and in three days, speaking only about art it's just fabulous. Merveilleu..." Read more

"For 25 years I’ve made my living as a painter. Others sometimes called me an artist, but I lacked the confidence to think of myself as such. A couple of workshops here and there just left me frustrated. While stuck at home because of Covid (and with Covid), I had a lot of time to think about the direction I wanted to take. An ad for PleinAirLive popped up on..." Read more

"Magnificent! It truly exceeded what I imagined it would be. Been able to study with masters of Modern Realism in the company of other artists around the world, from whom I've learned what they had to share also, without leaving my studio, represents a lifetime opportunity for growth as an artist and advancement in the art world. I am thankful."

"This was the best investment I could have made in my art. You pulled off a really magnificent feat. I've worked in the film industry, practiced law, taught law, and served as executive director of a large non-profit. Putting together a live program with 300 attendees is a bear. (I've done it). Getting anything major done on an internet platform is hard enoug..." Read more

"I was blown away by the talent of the faculty of RealismLive!! I came away from the experience feeling like this art community is part of a large family. I just realized after attending #RealismLive this week, art unites.

"The week was full of incredible demos, instruction, new drawing and painting experiences, fun breakout rooms and fun dancing and chats. What I gained besides learning a bit about oil painting, was the confidence that I can actually learn to draw faces, figures, portraits, or whatever I want! I was a believer that I couldn't draw, so I avoided the subjects of..." Read more

"I had no clue what to expect from Realismlive being a watercolorist. Within a few minutes I had to paint along listening as Joshua LaRock explained the structure and form of an eye. Over the course of 4 days, figures and portraits began to emerge . I watched great talent and met great talent in the break out rooms but mainly I listened and painted. Realismli..." Read more

"I have been sculpting for several years and only recently decided to stop painting pictures in my mind all the time and try learning to actually paint. I feel like my mind is exploding with wonderful new knowledge that helps me put much of the random information I already possess into perspective with a much higher level of understanding. I feel very inspire..." Read more

"After over 50 years making my living as a fine art printmaker (intaglio), I painted as a sideline, learning by trial and error. For years I struggled to loosen up trying to make my realistic drawings impressionistic paintings. After this week, I came home to myself, true. Thank you."

"It was great - just like Plein Air Live! Outside obligations prevented me from watching each demo completely and some not at all, so I am so thankful that I can now go through them slowly and attentively. I already miss the energy and knowing that there are so many artists out there like me! I am looking forward to Watercolor Live in January (already signed..." Read more

"Loved it! Exceeded expectations. The faculty demos in particular blew me away. Seeing some of the stars struggle with their early stage constructs, really gave me confidence because I also struggle early on. More next year please!"

"I think when I look back on Realism Live from the future I will say that it was THE pivotal life changing event in my art career. Thank you Eric, Peter and all the artists that gave so much of themselves and of course a big thanks to all behind the scenes who made this ALL possible!"

"The level of skill ,and the manner in which it was presented by the artists just reached inside me and pulled out inspiration, and built confidence in very unexpected ways. I did not just learn technical skill, but met hearts, minds and souls. If that weren't enough, the community built through chat and zoom took the whole experience to a level nearing out o..."

"Absolutely heaven for painters. If anything can take our minds off a pandemic it was realism live, what a hoot, such a brilliant program that stimulated my brain and imagination, taught me new skills and gave me new ideas to try. I loved meeting the other painters and Eric and Peter. The Bob Ross inclusion was hilarious. The quality work of the artists demon..." Read more
