По некоторым исследованиям, внедрение этой методики вызвало резонанс - более 1 млн. человек за период с 2005 по 2017 хоть один раз занимались живописью. Многие студии использовали подобный подход и провели многочисленные мастер-классы. Виталий проводит мастер-классы по живописи в Италии и Германии.

Сотрудничество с Андреем Герасимюком
Идея создания первой книги "Акварельное путешествие по Италии" возникла тогда, когда Виталий взял пару мастер-классов по акварели у Андрея Герасимюка, который обладает уникальным опытом в живописи акварелью. Виталий усовершенствовал свой уровень акварели буквально за пару недель, после чего записал весь алгоритм быстрого обучения, будучи в роли студента, и создал эффективную методику.

Уже за год, более 2500 человек написали свою первую акварель в этой книге. Собрав feedback от читателей, авторы книги усовершенствовали следующую книгу "Акварельное путешествие по Франции" и создали одноименный видео-курс с подробным описанием процесса создания акварелей. Нужно отметить. что Андрей впервые делится своими знаниями в форме видео-курса и мастер-класса.
