So informative to basically cover a whole medium in one class it was also great to see Shelby's enthusiasm about the discovery process as we went along. Covered everything from materials to blending to paper to common pitfalls. Would absolutely love to have more beginner media covered in the future.

It was a fantastic class Shelby and I would love to see more about pastels. I would love you to take each type of pastel medium and provide us with classes. We can all learn together (or relearn in your case). I absolutely loved the apple that you did - it was wonderful watching it come together. All of our pastel people in the class were so helpful too.

Very informative class on supplies, pastels, and lots of tips. It was great to see Shelby’s finished apple that looked so juicy and sweet. Lots of fun playing with pastels, and seeing what they would do on different types and colors of paper. Great class if you know nothing about soft pastels.

I couldn't attend the live class, 1.30 am, too tired, too cold, asleep. Loved the replay. It was very informative and inspiring. Time to dust off the pastel box and start enjoying its contents. Thank you.
