I really enjoyed watching Patti painting and learning how she used her brushstroke techniques, something I struggle with when it comes to making it look realistic, she is excellent at showing how to do this. Especially making reference to where the light falls on the face and using white paint to highlight this and the use of different brush sizes at different stages of the painting.Love this course!
