Slow with the glow!

I love painting flowers! I learned an easier way to enlarge a drawing, getting the large shapes is more important that the smaller details. She demonstrated glazing & layering it to bring the painting all together, working slow with the glow!

clear, concise, professional

Great video. The sound and visuals are excellent. I dont paint in this manner, but I will definitely give it a try.
I played it for out local art guild and everyone enjoyed it, especially the watercolorists who are into intricate
control of detail.
