There was so much practical information given, and to be able to watch and paint along is wonderful! Everybody at Foxsy is so great about seeing questions and providing answers. Shelby live on video Jon and Savannah in the background, providing any type of links needed for answers and everybody just works cohesively as a team. It’s fun to be able to chat back-and-forth with the rest of the people that are creating along with you! I thoroughly recommend Foxsy

First time using masking fluid. Did better with masking tape, cleaner edges. Need to practice with the fluid as I used an applicator tip and was fighting bubbles on the paper. Good class with a lot of tips.
