New lessons were posted each Friday, which is ideal for someone who works M-F and wants to spend time on the weekends viewing the new content.The website is attractively designed with black text on bright white backgrounds and lots of pops of bright colors.The videos were professionally produced with music, bright lighting, and nice zoom in shots so you can see clearly.These are some of my impressions on Expressing: Some of the topics in the kourse included traditional watercolor techniques (such as glazes and washes), hand lettering, handmade books (mostly how to do the design and layout of the content, NOT bookbinding itself), sketching digitally on a tablet, and some very cool printmaking techniques. There was also a weekly homework assignment with instructions to post in the forums for the other participants to view and/or comment. Most of the videos had question prompts meant to spur discussion in the forums. Each weekly lesson consisted of a series of short (10 minutes or less) videos (introductory, biographical, sketchbook tours, and demos). The kourse was broken up into six, one week long lessons featuring a different artist each week. Also, I enrolled with a 20% off promo code which made the normally $99 cost a bit easier to swallow. The main reason why I signed up was because Michael Nobbs and Penelope Dullaghan were being featured as instructors, and I am a long time follower of both for many years. This is my honest review of the program for the benefit of anyone else who may be considering enrolling. This past January I signed up for the Sketchbook Skool six week “kourse” called Expressing as part of my goal for this year to focus more on my personal sketchbooks.
