Best review
Also, loved the technique of keeping paper wet for longer time. Elina explained in detail how to paint these beautiful skies and also how to get different pastel shades. A well-explained detailed class to paint some beautiful soft and subtle skies. Fabulous class! technique for achieving those pillowy fluffy clouds is just amazing. The exercises were great to warm up with before the final project. In addition to this, an engaging teacher really makes it enjoyable irrespective of the outcome. Wow, I've never made pastels shades with my watercolors--so pretty!
Worst review
I found out one thing interesting while mixing watercolours with white gouache, it does not make a clear mix as the pastel watercolours (i will show when I post my project).
