He is able to break almost every complex art related task down into reachable step-by-step exercises. It may seem formulaic at first, but that approach worked to quickly facilitate for me a solid understanding of perspective, figure drawing, portrait painting, and even sculpture. His critiques can seem brutally honest, but that’s an asset which also helped stimulate some rapid artistic growth for me.

Alexander is very patient and knowledgeable. Has a good sense of humor, which helps to provide the right focus and to serve as an example to a situation (shot). Can explain the difference between the lenses, light, shade, background and other important components.
