Fun intro to relaxing medium

I really enjoyed this class and Shelby’s laid-back style. I’m excited to try out the technique because it looks very relaxing and even watching the class without supplies was relaxing. Thanks!

Another String to the Bow

Whle I have been marvelling at the breadth of talent and courses at Foxy (found along the way that I am definitely a Watercolour artist), I thought I would take a peek at the alcohol art course; it did not disappoint as Shelby's enthusiasm and playful style made it seem that it's an worthy option. The colours are vibrant, techniques are simple, providing another way to express yourself.
