Awesome but a few tweaks needed
It's and amazing thing to receive tutorials from someone I view as one of our greatest living master artists. One major thing I think should be addressed is the video quality of the course. Being able to see fine details is a MUST in a course like this and the video quality of the first eye video leaves some to be desired. Lastly it would be nice to get more thorough descriptions of the tools he uses to include possibly where they can be purchased. A "hard" or "soft" brush doesn't help someone who needs to purchase and knows nothing about brush types.

Good morning,
Thank you for your feedback. We are using this period of time to gather as much feedback as possible as Kelvin endeavours to continue improve the experience provided for our students in his next upcoming course.
Kelvin purchases his tools online. When accessing the “Materials used in this video” section of the student dashboard, the finer details of the specific materials are given there e.g. the brand, colour or grade. This should aid your purchases of the materials he uses.
I hope this is of help. Please contact us at academy@kelvinokaforart.com if we can assist you further with Academy related queries and we will happily support you.
Kind regards,
KO Team
Gold
Kelvin has been the biggest inspiration in my art in the last 6 years since I discovered his work. I’ve had to study his work from afar because I live in Canada. I have learned a lot from just observation. Having this is literally having gold and I really appreciate his insight and genius.

Thank you for such positive feedback Jason, we greatly appreciate it.
For Kelvin, being able to provide a service to people who, for geographical reasons, couldn’t attend his workshops was of vital importance to him. So we are thoroughly pleased to hear you’ve found the experience beneficial.
We hope you continue to enjoy the learning experience provided in the online courses.
Please turn on your social media notifications and sign up to Kelvin’s monthly newsletter to ensure you hear when his next course is available.

This course beyond blew my mind
This course beyond blew my mind! I have always been apprehensive with utilizing charcoal, but Kelvin’s techniques are so user friendly. There is such grace in the way he creates, he is truly an inspiration.

Business Model is Questionable
The "basic course" is misleading and appears only to exist in order to create a perception of higher value to the advanced course. It is not a course at all, has zero instructional material or guidance, simply it is a video and should be advertised as such. Kelvin does his best on the video to give indications but other than that it is left raw. I would suggest supporting documents or practice work sheets and pop ups on the video to show what materials are being used at each moment would go some way to making this into a justified product offering. A good start but the business needs to focus more on customer experience. Kelvin is extremely talented but this is a competitive market and his mystique will not generate repeat sales on its own. Can't wait to see what this evolves into as time passes and wishing the best of success to the team.

Good evening Robin,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback in regards to the basic course. As a very new business we are continually seeking to improve our service, so we certainly welcome your comments and suggestions.
Kelvin was mindful to ensure that as the eye of Aisha was his first online course, he wanted to keep prices low (£10 for the basic course) for an extended period of time to ensure we can gather as much feedback as possible to assist him in the creation of the next module.
We hope you have been able to source the list of materials Kelvin uses in the video which was located on the in the course section.
We hope you continue to participate in future Academy courses as we endeavour to take on board suggestions to cater to the needs of our students.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at academy@kelvinokaforart.com should you need any further support in your journey with the Academy.
Kind regards,
