As this was my first time painting with real paint instead of contrast, I wasn't expecting to be any use, and figured a lot of the teaching would go over my head, but I'd have fun anyway. I was so wrong! your teaching style is so welcoming and inclusive, I got so much out of the day! I've learned loads, and I'm looking forward to putting it into practice on my burrows and badgers minis soon!
