Great Way to Learn!

I have completed a few Foxy courses now and was thrilled to catch up on this one! I find Shelby is so supportive and enjoyed Jon being part of it, offering to get her a heat tool when she admitted she didn't have one to hand. Her relatability, honesty and warmth shines through in her simple and empathetic advice on any and all questions. Looking forward to many more courses!

I enjoyed painting along. I enjoyed watching how you deal with mistakes as you make them. That was helpful. I loved the painting itself.

I liked the live paint along format. Hearing Shelby's play-by-play thoughts and solutions to unexpected oops was helpful.

Shelby was great at showing and explaining the steps. If there were any questions she was great at answering them and giving encouragement. I would definitely recommend Shelby for this type of class and look forward to taking more classes from her.

I loved getting to watch Shelby paint live and paint with her! It allowed me to learn so much and have so many of my questions answered in real time and that was so helpful. Just watching her color mixing process taught me so much about blending and how to get cohesive colors and she didn’t even talk about that in the actual lesson very much. I really hope that Art In Process becomes a regular Foxsy live class! I felt like it was such a valuable learning experience and I can’t wait to attend more!

This is a fun subject-who doesn't love a sunset? This is one of the classes that I would revisit a few times, because what I learned on the first time through is bound to give me big head start on a second or third sunset painting.
