“…I love the course, the variety of lessons and techniques. I like the format of the lessons, the introduction from the artist and how the lessons are broken up into manageable parts and stages. I actually find it very helpful watching the artist paint because I can learn from that, for example, the order of applying the paint, how it’s blended and sometimes how to fix mistakes. Whilst this teaching style is really helpful for me I would imagine that they would be really inspirational for the more experienced artists. I find the course is such good value and I look forward to receiving the lessons each Wednesday. Thank you Olga.” – Sue T.

“I am so excited for next year! This has been the BEST art course I have ever taken so far! SO many new styles and methods and ideas and inspiration to learn and grow from and I am AMAZED at all the artwork I have created already this year alone and the progress have made! I also find that I am incorporating many of the techniques I have learned so far in previous lessons into my own artwork I do now as well! I have learned and incredible amount in a very short time and the variety is excellent! I was so thankful to not just be doing the same style of work over and over and over again! This is truly the most inspirational and creative course I have ever taken to get my creative juices flowing!!!” – Melinda L.-M.
“I have LOVED Paint Your Heart and Soul! I learned so much from the wide-ranging selection of teachers representing so many different styles and media! I look forward to each week to see what creative challenge it will bring. I also liked how things were organized very much. I can not say enough positive things about PYHand S!!! And, I am already looking forward to next year. What a fabulous value this course is!!!” – Jeanne E.
“… For me this past year has been a whirlwind of learning techniques I never would have imagined myself doing. The artistry of these talented teachers is amazing. The sharing of weekly lessons has been both inspirational and supportive . …Thanks Olga Furman and all your very talented squad for the creativity and imagination and willingness to share💕” – Anne K.
”I’ve had so much fun in this course as well as learning heaps. I’ll return to these lessons many times as there is so much to take in and so many talented teachers, as well as an amazing support group. Well worth the $$$s and the time. Thank you Olga for putting it all together, and many thanks to the generosity of the teachers.” – Jahl H.
” I love the quality and variety of teachers and that the videos are edited very well. Another course drives me mad as it’s hours long, and incredibly dull and boring. Yours are awesome! You always respond to every picture posted and I love that, again not all courses do unfortunately and it can make you feel left out. That there is no fixed order and you can do as many lessons as you like in any order, and you feel free to use a reference of your own rather than the fixed one. I hate feeling like I have to follow rules 🙂 I love that there are different kinds of mediums used too rather than relying on mostly one or two.” -Anita T.
“This is my first year and I am loving everything! I might not do certain projects, but I learn something with every class! It’s one of the best programs and I look forward to joining again next year! Thank you Olga and team!” – Lola T.
“…The variety and quality of artist/teachers is the BEST! It’s helping me to take my art to the next level. Each artist/teacher offers something unique and useful. I love how it’s set up too with the emphasis on portraits/figures, but with a good mix of other genres too throughout the year. And the BEST Thing to me Is the opportunity to participate in the student art auction! I just loved that! You do not find that anywhere else in any online art school! I was able to sell several paintings and was thrilled! Thank you Olga Furman !!”, – Diana R.,
“I am a total amateur and PHYAS is my first art class. I love to learn about everything and the teachers are just amazing. I can’t believe how much I learned. Every class is amazing. My friends and family are in awe because they know I never painted or drew anything. Thank you Olga!!”– Maria I.M.M.
“This is my second year, and I Have enjoyed every offering. This program has gotten me through a lot of stuff. There are many beginner classes out there, so I appreciate that these classes are more challenging. There is a need for intermediate and advanced learning. I love looking at the various interpretations of the lessons. Thank you Olga.” – Carol V.
“This year so far has been absolutely amazing 
I love the variety and the surprise element of so different lessons and artists, and there is always lots to learn regardless of if the style initially speaks to me or not.” – Tone P.
“PYHaS is my favorite class! The only thing I’m sorry about that I didn’t join earlier. I was eyeboiling this class for a long time, I thought I could figure it all out by myself,… I learn more in a few month with all your amazing teachers than I learned in a few years with class here and there. I will for sure sign again! Thank you Olga and all the instructors for creating Paint Your Heart and Soul!” – Lena M.
“I learned a lot so far being part of this course and I get very inspired and I think this is really helping me to know in what direction I wish to take my own art. I know I can learn from every teacher here and I will try to make time for most of the lessons … Thank you Olga for all the hard work you put into this.” – Katrin K.
“I’ve been taking Olga’s Paint Your Heart and Soul Courses for the past few years now. It was the best decision ever. I learned more here that in art school. The varied styles and guest artists have been key in helping me develop myself into the artist I am today.
Who knew I would be a commission artist and my work sought after by others. I didn’t, but with continued practice and exploration of the tools PYHaS offer, I have found a success I hadn’t expected.
In addition, to be a successful part of the the Eclectic Art Show has been a dream. It has given me a chance to strengthen my confidence as an artist and person. It has been an honor to be associated with Olga and her group of creatives. Thanks for giving me wing to fly.”
– Tamara M.
