"I have never been able to draw. Never! My brain still can't believe these are my drawings. I drew them in 8 lessons at the Lea Richelieu Art School. It's an incredible feeling. I always regretted not being able to draw — but that I would ever succeed, I could only dream of."

"My husband took what seemed like all the courses at Lea Richelieu Art School. I finished 4 years of art college — my husband after these courses draws much better than me. Especially in realism."

"The course turned into a 3-month journey for me. I became more attentive to detail — when applying makeup, in the garden, at home, even when playing tennis and golf. I did not expect this."

"We all have talents. But pretty often we don't even know about them. That's why it's so important to try something new. I found my new talent and hobby — drawing. Thanks to Lea Richelieu Art School I was able to draw this portrait after only 8 lessons."

"Very wonderful course. I really enjoyed it. Not every talented artist can also be a talented teacher. Lea is one of those who can. She guides you through every stage, gives sound advice and, importantly, motivates."

"I studied here and even a child will understand the material — it's super that it's online. You can rewind the video — the learning is so much more effective. Lea Richelieu Art School is a brilliant teacher, believe me."

"Thank you for the course. I've already been drawing for a week and there are 4 portraits. I know there are mistakes, but I'll work on them. There are already orders from relatives."

"I'm very glad Sona took this course. I have no words for how beautifully the painting came out. It's already hanging in a frame on the wall. Sona wants to become an animator in the future, and I wanted her to try drawing like in art school."

"Took the course «A Year of Art School in a Month». Very enjoyable, clear and detailed. Very interesting learning. I had never been to art school before, and started drawing quite recently. Very useful, thank you!"
