Roughly 70% of them find him very abusive, 30% said Ovanes is rough and can be abusive but they somehow got along with him.<br /><br />My personal view is that an art teacher is only worth for who they are as a person. I myself would not go to him for that reason but atleast he does not hide who he is.<br /><br />I have come across another good painter and very charming as a teacher as well and students follow him for 3, 4, 5,and some for 7 years paying $1000 for a workshop and very expensive classes. Most of these students coming out wanting to look like this teacher but without a clue that this teacher really have not taught them anything at all except copying the teacher.ddripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146224493527418397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-86463092652734247182009-05-15T10:55:00.000+00:002009-05-15T10:55:00.000+00:00I'm now wondering whether the popularity of this b...I'm now wondering whether the popularity of this blog post is because people are checking out different people's views about this tutor.<br /><br />I've just read an alternative and VERY different perspective on this artist/tutor on Robert Genn's website - and as the contrast is so profound I thought it only fair to post a link to it.<br /><br />Read the comment <B>"An Offensive Instructor"</B> in the <A HREF="http://clicks.robertgenn.com/painters-post.php" REL="nofollow">"Introducing The Painter's Post"</A> clickback (scroll down to the comment)Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-7223839344617754722007-05-27T08:24:00.000+00:002007-05-27T08:24:00.000+00:00Ed - the multiplying effects of work are having ev...Ed - the multiplying effects of work are having even more impact.

I love his confidence and color, not a big fan of sunsets as the main theme, but he doses it well.william wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471366449711429780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1151286156598327372006-06-26T01:42:00.000+00:002006-06-26T01:42:00.000+00:00Katherine,I'm really glad to hear you found my blo...Katherine,<BR/><BR/>I'm really glad to hear you found my blog posts on Ovanes useful. To make the post even more useful, a few of your blog's readers where thoughtful enough to add their own comments and experience with Ovanes.
