Feedback DITS

Drawing in the Soul is a truly wonderful portrait art course. What I appreciated about it was the fact that it successfullly blended together serious drawing and painting teckniques with loads of fun. I entered the course never having used acrylic paint or pastels and with Juna’s clear instructions this was no problem. The course is geared in such a manner that whether one is highly talented and wanting to hone ones skills or one is doing it purely out of interest one will by the end of the course have improved immensely. Juna’s lessons are comprehensive and stimulating, the Facebook group is supportive and inspiring and the care and usefullness of Juna’s feedback has to be seen to be appreciated. I fully recommend this course.

I can’t say enough good about this course. Juna is a very wise, kind, and generous teacher. I was new to portraiture, and to painting when I started Drawing in the Soul. Now when I look at what I accomplished it seems like magic. Juna provided lots of technical information, and feed back that was spot on, but she also created a safe, warm, and friendly environment that gave us the courage to take risks, to make mistakes, and to share our work and learn from each other. Her video demonstrations are great, because they show not only the physical process, but also the thoughtful questioning, and searching that goes into her work. Thank you so very much Juna for starting me on this journey. I’m sure you’ll have me as a student again.

Juna Biagioni’s course Drawing in the Soul is an incredible three month learning experience. Her weekly lessons include hours of videos, PDFs, files with reference photos and supply lists. Just as valuable is Juna’s presence on the private class Facebook page. Questions are answered promptly (considering the time zones). But the most amazing aspect of the course is Juna’s supportive, detailed critiques of each student’s weekly project. And she even includes photos of each change that she suggests. I think it would be impossible to take this course and not improve! Also, Juna is very organized and very good at gently reminding students about timeframes and feedback guidelines. It’s fun to meet people from all over the world and follow everyone’s progress. I highly recommend Juna’s course.

Juna Biagioni’s course Drawing in the Soul and my partaking of it, was the best possible thing I could have done for myself this year! It was more than I expected, and I learned a LOT from this course: different methods, materials, about line, colour and so much more! Juna is an excellent teacher, patient, extremely professional, and very thorough in her feedback. She is totally committed to her students and goes out of her way for them on a regular basis, always ready to answer any questions related to the course. I enjoyed the course so much that I eagerly look forward to more courses in the future with Juna. I wouldn’t miss a single one! 🙂

Juna, your teaching technique is superior to those I’ve received during my fine arts degree. Thank you & do not change your ways. The feedbacks in Drawing in the Soul were very important for the progress. I’ve enjoyed following you and did learn some more.

Drawing in the Soul is a course I wish everyone could take. The knowledge that Juna shares, in text, in her step by step videos, in personal messages and in her gentle and generous feedback is un-paralleled, and to be able to download the course and keep it forever is something I never anticipated. I’ve never witnessed anything even similar to this in any class I’ve ever taken – online or in person.

The scope of the course may at first seem daunting, but each week focuses on a very clearly defined goal, and those three weeks designed to allow everyone time to catch up or further develop their work, come at precisely the right moment. Week after week, I watched the portraits that my fellow students posted evolve into works of breathtaking beauty, matched by their generosity and genuine and knowledgeable feedback, a true testimony to Juna’s guidance. I’m thrilled that Drawing in the Soul will be offered again. I’ve already registered.

Before this online course Drawing in the Soul I didn’t know how to use any of the materials. I was a complete novice. I knew I could draw and that I had an eye for art, but I didn’t know how to start and how to express myself.

With Juna’s course we learnt to use different mediums. How to apply them and how to make them ‘speak’, how to give them soul.

The very gentle and very constructive feedback was given with empathy and sensitivity. This gave us all confidence to move forward to our next project.

I feel now the possibilities are boundless! My fingers itch to get onto another project of my own choosing.

I’m leaving this course proud of all my efforts and well supported by Juna’s encouragement.

Thank you form the bottom of my heart.

From the first moment I saw Juna Biagoni’s work I was mezmerized. She seemed to me a sculptor, where beautiful faces and features appeared from nowhere. I signed up immediately for Drawing in the Soul and counted the days until the class began.

I have not been disappointed. I now can, even as a beginner, have faces appear that surprise and delight me. Juna’s ability to teach is superb. She is thorough, generous in her sharing and the range of projects in the class is fantastic. The best part is her gentleness and support in her feedback. I know of no other class where the feedback is so detailed and thorough. Juna’s feedback draws you to your next step, shows you what you are headed.

Drawing in the Soul has completing changed my ability to see. This is the only class where I have actually faced my resistance, even though I was over my head as a beginner and did the assignments. I adore Juna Biagoni. I am so grateful. There is no one better.

I saw one of Juna’s videos on YouTube and my gut feeling said: YES!!! Drawing in the Soul is so awesome and highly recommendable.

The structure of the course teaches you all you ever wanted to know about drawing & painting faces: all about different profiles, the features, and how to use different art supplies. A mixture of playful and challenging lessons.

I learned a lot, especially via the direct feedback. Thank you so much, Juna, for this incredible course!!

Juna’s online class Drawing in the Soul is very thorough and well organized. I enjoyed learning about new mediums and watching Juna do her magic.

The thing I appreciated the most, though, was how Juna viewed and critiqued our work so we could learn from our mistakes. I do not know of any other online class where this occurs, and look forward to taking future classes.

I would highly recommend this class, Drawing in the Soul! The material is very comprehensive about drawing, painting, color etc. The videos and pdfs are very professionally done and Juna is a great teacher! Her feedback is always kind but very insightful too, another lesson in itself.

It was an excellent enjoyable learning experience and I look forward to her offering other classes as well.

I cannot thank you enough Juna for this wonderful course, Drawing in the Soul. I have learned so much and I feel so much more confident about my own work.

Your teaching style is wonderful. Detailed yet concise, so learning is made clear and accessible. But above all your warmth and support have inspired and encouraged me throughout every week.

I am still astounded by how much detailed and helpful feedback you have given to each one of us. The feedback you gave me opened my eyes – not just to errors I was unaware of, but also to countless ways I could improve my own art. I have taken several online art courses but nothing comes anywhere near yours.

I would recommend it to everyone and my only sorrow is that it has to come to an end. Please do more courses… Your work is stunningly beautiful and I long to learn more from you. Thank you so much.
