What a fab class & short enough to watch on my lunch break. April makes feathers easy and I can't wait to have a go :)
A great class & not too overwhelming. April makes it all look so easy, so much so I picked up a pen and did my own feather doodles.
Definitely recommend this class. April inspired me to pick up a pen and draw for the first time in years. So simple to follow
