The artists have spoken, here's what they say...

Testimonial Image

Working with Justin is a dream come true. He is the most inspirational, charismatic instructor. Every new video lesson is like a celebration that I genuinely wait for. My skills in mixing skin tones have improved very rapidly, I was shocked at how quickly I could raise my art game. Thank you Justin and Canvas Method!

I discovered Canvas Method when I was between careers and now I feel like I am ready to finally commit to being an artist full time. Steve's classes have given me so much confidence to be myself and to explore...without fear. Also — he is hilarious and really knows how to break things down so everything is nice and clear! My mood is elevated every time I watch one of his videos:)

Wow! Canvas Method! Holy motherfuckerrrrrrrr!
I am IN LOVE with this school. The sexy instructors! All the nude models! I can't get enough CM, it's like crack for me. If there's one thing I could take to a desert island, it would be Canvas effing METHOD!

Another day, another masterpiece. What can I say, Canvas Method has given me the most explosive volcanic pleasure I could ever experience in my entire life. ALL that I am and ALL that I want in life is to watch Canvas Method Videos in a bathtub of rose petals. I want to bathe in Canvas Method. Drink it, smoke it. Become one with it.

When I made 'Mad Max', I was clay. I molded and kneaded to the will of George Miller. When I made 'What Women Want', I was vulnerable. I was an open space, endless, infinite — I crossed genders to be the truest vessel for this task. When I made 'Apocalypto', I became God. I am God. I will be God forever. Nothing is greater than me. Maybe only Canvas Method.
