Exciting
This was a very exciting course. I am a mixed media artist myself and found so many fascinating new ideas in these lectures. I can hardly wait to start trying some of them with my own vibrant color palette. Even if you find one of her lessons doesn't interest you go on to the next. There are so many interesting ideas you are sure to find one to your liking. There are so many ways to use the bits she shows you how to make other than paintings. You could make cards as she showed or decorate boxes or wrapped presents or vases. The ideas are limited only by your imagination. Have fun, I know I will.

Worth the Yearly Subscription!
This one course is worth the entire cost of subscription for the entire year. I am not kidding. I love art and have been teaching myself for over 30 years. I consider myself to be very good at it. But I worked most of my life and never had the time to attend professional classes. I also have autism and find it difficult to sit in classes with groups of people. That is why I love taking classes through Wondrium / TGC ... and have done so for many years.
I will add a few photos of my own artwork so you can see that I am not kidding when I tell you that I am already an artist. So when I say that this kind lady has taught me a about art... it is a very high compliment. Wow! She is an amazing artist. Some of the simplest things she does are just so easy but turn out so beautiful. Just... wow.
