Despite positive feedback on the instructor and their patience with student concerns, several reviewers were disappointed with the lack of basic instruction on facial construction and skin tone color mixing in the Introduction to the Portrait in Color class. The instructor seemed more inclined to provide suggestions after students had already completed a basic paint or drawing. One student even stopped attending the class midway due to their lack of skill in the basics. Overall, the course description should have been clearer about what the course would and would not cover. Direct quote: "I stopped attending at the class midpoint because I did not have the skill to do the basics well."
