Favorite teacher on Skillshare. For real, I learned so much in this class about hands, but also I can apply everything I learned to future watercolor paintings, drawings, sketches, and anything that has to do with light and shadow (i.e. everything.) Thanks again Arleesha! Project forthcoming.

Very good teaching and lots of tips. really enjoyable. She is not afraid to make mistakes and show us how to incorporate them!
Very helpful and gives me ideas to try different things with colour! and ways to blend watercolour paint, I didn't realise it was so forgiving.
