"This is amazing. This course has taught me so much more than I ever learned in art college. I really can’t believe I almost didn’t take it. It’s like we’re being given the keys to the treasure chest." Jess Brown

CVP has exceeded my expectations and has been a transformative and enriching experience. This program has liberated me from limiting beliefs and has given me the confidence to pursue and savour my creative journey. CVP has provided me with clarity and a much better understanding of how I can make more powerful art by applying the principles, refining and making adjustments." Tamara Korsa

"3 years of art school and I NEVER got it...a 10 minute video with you, perfectly CLEAR! Thank you so much!" Amanda Hebden

"I am so positively blown away by this course. It's unexpectedly informative, juicy, concise, easy to understand, hopeful and encouraging. It pushes without being pushy, hands out information when it's most impactful. I'm eager to learn and this is feeding my needs.” Pamela Reinhardt

I've had very little formal training so what I'm really appreciating is having the words (the principles) to fall back on instead of trying to figure out how I got a piece right or to help me understand what is wrong or missing in another piece. These principles are so valuable to me. Feeling grateful.” Penny Forrest

“As someone who has been through the CVP program, I just wanted to say how truly miraculous it has been for me to join as an artist who had no idea what their style was and emerge having a style that I love and knowing that I cannot make a bad piece of art! Thank you so much.” Michelle Renee Bernard

"Each week has been both eye opening and enlightening. I love how the learning from each week has fed into the next. There's a kind of cumulative effect to the understanding you bring which feels great." Zoe Ashbrook

"Very few artists I have known are singularly committed to doing inspired work, and also actually produce it every single day of their lives. Even fewer have the passion to share and teach others. Nicholas Wilton has that extraordinarily rare gift that embodies both amazing art and an amazing heart." - Mike Rapp

“Sold four paintings this week! ….three of them I started in Week 3! The first few weeks of CVP had already made a huge impact on my work…scale, confidence, etc etc. Thank you Nick!” Sally Hirst

“What a team! Grateful to each of you for your knowledgeable and caring and attentive and helpful spirits. You have collectively changed my art practice in a very big way. Without you, I would still be dibbling and dabbling ad infinitum, an artist without a cause. Now I walk through my studio door with guns blazing and a newfound confidence.” Christina Faye Andrews Jennings

"CVP was the most incredible learning (and friending) experience for me...thank you again for your generous spirit, stellar teaching, sharing, wisdom and caring ways with us. I'm patting myself on the back for sticking to my resolve to take it even though my plate was overflowing at the time (like most people's too, I'm sure)!” Susan Hale

“I'm probably posting my last two boards for now. There still remains some finishing work, but I thought I would like some comments first. This has been the most rewarding three months in all of my creative life, ……. this is just the start of a wonderful journey. I used to be so scared to sit down with my brushes, because I dreaded the feeling of failure when I saw what I was able to create. I was beginning to think I lacked talent, but after these incredibly intense weeks with hours and hours in the studio I realize it all boils down to practice. the most liberating lesson I'm taking with me, is the wonderful feeling that I can never ever make mistakes. I can just paint over and start afresh. My next project is to transfer that feeling into my personal relationships. That would be a great freedom.:” Lisbeth Lyngaas
