After Covid, my days of teaching art to kids came to a screeching halt. As I am very susceptible to respiratory infections, self-isolation was necessary. As the saying goes, "When one door closes, a new one opens." I decided it was Art time for me. One of my regrets is failing to get a master's in architecture. Not a big deal because art is my passion. Who best to study art with... Glenn and Eleanor Vilppu! I bought the Vilppu subscription and off I went, immersing in his demos and lecture...24/7. Oh, I have sleep issues too.
I did have a lot of mileage, but it was more copying and very raw. I studied Glenn's process of gesture, defining the form, anatomy before drawing eyes and ears on the damn figure! The man taught me that drawing is thinking. Analyze the model... and then analyze some more until one overpower the brain and let the eyes take over. Glenn's mantra is "There are no rules, just tools." He has all these Glennisms that if you're not paying attention, you may miss an important point. The New Masters Live streaming is one of my favorites, among many, many categories available to me. I have also been taking the Vilppu Academy classes since 2021, shortly after Eleanor persuaded Glenn to participate i my Exhibit "Structure and Soul". From my point of view, I am getting a Master's education from a true and legendary art Master. Thank you, Glenn and Eleanor for the wealth of knowledge you are sharing.
I’ve been proudly a fan, student, and friend of Glenn Vilppu for many years. Like countless other students, he transformed my skills and, most importantly, taught me how to see.
This subscription option is perfect for students or artists who may not be able to attend his weekly critique-based courses, yet still want access to his teachings. It is exceptionally affordable considering the depth of knowledge offered through Glenn’s lectures, especially his Old Master studies and demonstrations.
Remember that Glenn is a living master —a bridge between generations of artists—and a true treasure in the world of art education.
Studying with Vilppu Academy has enriched my learning process. Glenn Vilppu, with his vast knowledge and success in art and animation, generously shares his process. From mastery of materials, observations, analysis and execution, he takes the student through his process. The recorded lectures, so many of them, are at my access whenever I want to study or review. I just recently viewed his lecture on Titian, to understand how to use light to define the form (screen capture below). I study at my own pace, no anxiety nor do I get overwhelmed by the subject matter. I particularly like the recorded "draw along" figure drawing sessions and to listen to Glenn's critiques.
Glenn and Eleanor are so welcoming and makes me feel like I am studying in the Master's studio.
