Lots of good information that you often don't get to play with in regards to brush capabilities and types. Gestural strokes really add feelings to a painting.
It would be nice to have a list of colors to use tho for this class if you don't go through whatever sequence order the classes are supposed to be watched in.

Easy to follow. I like her philosophy about the paintings do not have to be perfect.

This class was quick, but packed with useful information and beautiful tips on creating botanicals. She got straight to the point, which I appreciate. I will definitely be taking more of her classes.
