Marshall is very well respected for his teachings in composition. Here are some artists' thoughts after attending Marshal's composition workshop in the past:

"Marshall's Composition Class. One of the most important classes I've ever taken. Marshall stimulated and inspired me more than anybody I've ever learned from." – Justin Sweet

"After four years at a prestigious art college, Marshall introduced me to important concepts that I think about every time I sit down to do a painting." – Chris Appelhans

"If you care to be wiser, more knowledgeable, and a more competent artist, go see Marshall Vandruff". – Drew Struzan
