what I love about learn to… ART is that it gives you a lot of things to learn about ART. I use this site as a reference especially because I wanna be good at portrait drawing! And also, I love the fact that Miranda communicates very well with her fellow artists and that she loves sharing her knowledge and helps you in every possible way she can. Happy Anniversary learn to… ART! Looking forward to many many years of reading your blog!!!

I remember the first thing I looked at on your site were the drawing tips for portraits. I’d been drawing for years but they were still helpful.

I want to be an artist and I’m using this blog as my entry to this field. Thanks for a great blog.

Oh my. I love Learn to Art becasue this website eventually saved me from my assignments on figure drawing! Of course, I love art too
I improved alot just getting lessons from this site! 
Suggestions i would like to give is, maybe your website could get a few tutors to tape their lessons differently. Because not everyone gets to understand a particular person’s teaching, right?
Anyway, GOOD SITE!

One year already! Congratulations! You always have innovative and brilliant new ideas for challenging the creative process. All artists need this challenge in order to evolve or just to avoid stagnancy. The best thing about your blog is that the line is blurred between beginner and seasoned artists, all of your posts are relevant to us all on some level. Thanks and keep up the great work!
