Laney Haake

Dan, for an artist of your caliber to take time away from painting to teach others is such a blessing. I can only imagine what it might have been like to have painted with, or learned from, the likes of Sargent or Sorolla or Fechin back in the day but that’s how I feel being able to learn from you. You are one of the 'Sargents' of our time - so the opportunity to be able to learn from you is a true gift.

Mary Aslin

After having worked for months on my painting, I had stopped “seeing” it despite all the usual tricks for trying to analyze my work objectively.

Paired with his natural and genuine warmth and kindness, I came away from his teaching,  a better artist with a renewed vision, not to mention, greatly uplifted.

Michael Latala

I have watched many videos on painting the portrait and your material is by far the most informative and exciting. Every brush stroke, every color and everything you say reveals an important part of the creative process. You cover all the essentials that go into making a great painting, variety of edges and shapes, correct values, use of warm against cool to name a few.  You demonstrate that dedication, persistence and enthusiasm can carry you through a painting.
