While this course promises a comprehensive introduction to oil painting, it may fall short in a few areas. The emphasis on step-by-step guidance could limit creative exploration, potentially stifling individual expression. Additionally, the course may lack in-depth coverage of color theory and composition, which are crucial for beginners. Resources or feedback opportunities for personalized progress are also essential, yet may be insufficiently addressed, potentially hindering participants’ overall learning experience.
