And let’s not forget about brushwork – this exercise is a real boost for refining those precise strokes that every artist strives for. On top of all that, it’s a great exploration of how different colors can interact when they overlay each other, leading to some truly unique and interesting effects.

Foxsy Is the Best!

I have been all over the place , sorry. It’s just so much fun to jump in. There are a few courses I’m doing in order. One thing you guys do is have a fun/breather course. Excellent! Most artists don’t include a “if you’re burnt out” today class.
