Reviews

Brisbane Art Classes run by Mark Feiler are the best I’ve been too. I had been trying to attend the studio sessions for years and when I finally had the chance COVID hit. Thankfully Mark developed the virtual classes which have been amazing and just the creative escape I needed. Mark gives loads of individual feedback and direction that’s easy to understand. The format of the classes are really well planned to make the most of the time and what can be achieved. I can’t believe how quickly it goes, how much we get down and cover technically. Hands down I’ve learnt more about art and technique in a short time with Mark than any other class I’ve been to. The classes are a lot of fun and Mark is very patient and encouraging. I couldn’t recommend Mark at Brisbane Art Classes more highly. Linda Horgan

I did a short course online that explored the principles of figure drawing. It went for five weeks and in that time I became more passionate about learning to draw. I've always loved to draw but haven't been formally trained so my work has been very amatuer and self expressive. After 4 classes I feel more confident, more knowledgeable, and I feel like a better drawer. I now know how to practice to get even better. Thanks Mark! Jack Gray

The 8-week Intensive Drawing Classes is a comprehensive guide to drawing fundamentals. Not only do you learn theory, but technique as well, with individual assistance available. My drawing skills have improved exponentially as a result. Thank you Mark! Dorothy Roddy

I have enjoyed the online classes and I have greatly valued the unique and personalised feedback that Mark provides during each class. Mark captures each students work and using the features of modern technology provides his students a clear direction to develop their fine art skills. I did not think Online classes could be as enjoyable as studio sessions but in some key ways these online classes are better. Gillian Hibbert
