for my next one glenn has a way of being polite kind and straight to the point all at the same time i ve seen so much improvement in my drawing practice after spending time in person with him i ve lost exact count of how many workshops i ve attended i ve been to belgium vienna italy and new mexico with glenn and loved every second eleanor glenn s wife and glenn are such wonderful and kind souls to be around and have helped immensely when it comes to my anxiety around drawing i cant recommend his workshops enough richard johnson 03 21 2026 2026 lyon france workshop attended 5 glenn vilppu workshops can t wait for my next one glenn has a way of being polite kind and straight to the point all at the same time i ve seen so much improvement in my drawing practice after spending time in person with him i ve lost exact count of how many workshops i ve attended i ve been to belgium vienna italy and new mexico with glenn and loved every second eleanor glenn s wife and glenn are such wonderful and kind souls to be around and have helped immensely when it comes to my anxiety around drawing i cant recommend his workshops enough richard johnson 03 21 2026 2026 palm springs california sketching on location workshop experience of a lifetime i had the privilege of studying with glenn in belgium in 2024 this was a life changing experience for many reasons and one that i will always treasure in my heart if you go on a trip with glenn you will learn a lot about drawing but you will also have the opportunity to meet many incredible people who are at different stages of their artistic education glenn s classes attract very special people who are worth getting to know and i would place the caliber of these relationships on a similar level of significance to me as great friendships from college these trips are in part special because many adults at different stages of their life have set aside time to make a serious effort to improve with a wonderful teacher the experience of drawing with this small community and getting to know each other is precious glenn is very good at working with each student individually and quickly realizing a clear concrete step the student can take to improve when glenn observes your work he will quickly discern a path and show you the way with a demo there have been times when i didn t understand what he meant to teach me and months and years later i figured it out one useful thing about working in person with a class is you get to see how he works with other students if you pay attention to those interactions and observe carefully you will find that those lessons can be applied equally to your own work the students in my trip were at varying skill levels this is very positive because you are exposed to a wide range of critique and instruction seeing how glenn worked with more advanced students was as helpful as seeing glenn approach fundamental problems whenever you see glenn work with a student you should always assume that this lesson can benefit you one things that never ceases to amaze me about studying with glenn is how his lessons tend to imprint on the mind i think that glenn teaches as much with passion and joy as he does with word and demos sometimes i am surprised by how vividly i remember an image he drew and how his hand moved on the page if you are at all hesitant don t be you will have a great time with wonderful people make wonderful memories and learn how to draw daniel woodhams 03 15 2026 2026 lyon france workshop a highly recommended workshop as a regular student at glenn s on site classes i can highly recommend his workshops it is great to learning from him in person and being able to ask questions right away glenn teaches in a way that doesn t interfere with the students style of drawing he teaches tools that you can use to draw whatever subject you want to approach whether the subject or scene i want to draw is from life or imagination the skills that i ve learned at glenn s lessons took me to a level that i wouldn t have reached without his workshops take the opportunity to learn from him at the palm springs workshop you will not regret it and most probably as i do be looking forward to learning more from glenn at his next workshops i am a student of glenn since 2013 and i am trying to attend at least one on site workshop per year to take my skills to the next level vilppu academy is awesome andrea christen 03 13 2026 2026 palm springs california sketching on location workshop highly recommended workshop in 2013 i attended my first on site workshop with glenn in munich i consider it one of the best things that happened in my artistic career that i started studying with him back then i attended as many on site workshops with glenn as i could ever since getting his feedback in person is very valuable and being able to ask questions right away is just great glenn s motto no rules just tools is a concept that i very much appreciate he helped me improve my art skills tremendously without interfering with my style of drawing i have already reserved my spot for the full workshop don t miss the opportunity to work with glenn and take your art skill to a new level i highly recommend glenn s workshop in lyon andrea christen 03 11 2026 2026 lyon france workshop life changing engagement i ve done several vilppu workshops in europe and in us each one has changed my life these workshops are intensely about learning to see and draw through interaction with other artists the local community the landscape local art and of course glenn s guidance there is no substitute for being there it s no small thing that i developed several long term friendships along the way russell foltz smith 03 11 2026 2026 lyon france workshop chance of a lifetime i had the privilege of studying with glenn in belgium in 2024 this was a life changing experience for many reasons and one that i will always treasure in my heart if you go on a trip with glenn you will learn a lot about drawing but you will also have the opportunity to meet many incredible people who are at different stages of their artistic education glenn s classes attract very

sardinia last year and i ll leave this review here as a food for thought for people who consider joining this one the sardinia trip was amazing and i m looking forward to this one to glenn drawing comes as naturally as breathing his art looks beautiful effortless and fun for someone like me who was scared of failing at drawing this attitude shift alone was worth the price of attendance after that i carry a sketchbook everywhere i go and i draw all the time this class quite literally changed my life glenn is also great at teaching his instruction was a great help and he adjusts his feedback based on the artist s level so everyone is welcome if you want to learn to sketch or if you want to learn to draw like the great masters of the past or just spend a week drawing beautiful scenery with like minded people i can t recommend this course enough sergey b 03 10 2026 2026 lyon france workshop really great course i really love this course and think it s wonderful i m only halfway through the course right now but i can t wait to leave a review because of how exciting and good it is this course is in a way similar to figure drawing 3 because it lets me do experiments through the minds of other artists with different kinds of tools i love this aspect of the course because i find that having different tools laying in front of me gives drawings more potential and spontaneity and more fun and i realised that i m actually discovering my own preferences and ideas by learning from these other artists because glenn is not teaching me to copy blindly but different thinkings that go behind each technique which make me think what do i wanna do how does it feel like so naturally when i apply the techniques of each artist to my own drawing i incorporate and adapt it with my own tendencies and each drawing is kind of a part of self discovery all glenn s courses give the freedom of self discovery by learning from others but i find this one in particular gives me the most freedom partially because i started shifting to animal genres and this is another good thing about the course that it is not limited to drawing only humans i can use what i have learnt to draw all kinds of animals i love so i d highly recommend this course to anyone regardless what genre you are interested in and it s super fun imagine your cat sitting next to you watching you drawing them and telling you draw me like one of tiepolo s cats and you can ti 02 11 2026 head drawing 2 glenn 24 7 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 renato de guia 01 28 2026 vilppu subscription more than i expected with high expectations i got a lot more than i bargained for not just from the composition class itself but from generous quantity and most important quality feedback the weekly lecture demo structure and the weekly questions session give you a lot more knowledge and access that just your course module everything from anatomy animals drapery landscape you name it is up for grabs no art speak no esoteric wishy washy theories no cherry picking methods a straight forward understandable and practical approach that you can build on for a lifetime an approach of thinking that open...
