It was a good master class to watch about lights and shadows. I’m learning to draw in pencil, but I also wanted to use paints to apply the new knowledge. I have zero experience in painting, but I use aucrylic paints to decorate on clay. I don’t know how to mix colors properly with water to get the right value, so this was a challenge for me when I tried to repeat after the instructor. More expalanion would be better for beginners in painting. In general, I liked the class.

We will try to do more on acrylic mixing in the future. Most professional artists we work with prefer oils, but we’ll keep an eye out for an opportunity to teach this!
