I love Jodi's art and her teaching style! Can't wait to go to my studio and try what I learned. There were a few skips in the video, but I just pause it and started again.

This was one of the best mixed-media lessons I have seen. The level of instruction, pace, and filming was perfect. The instructor was very good at talking and painting at the same time, which is hard to do well. The practice pieces were sophisticated and I could see the possibilities for exploring the techniques myself. Very well done.
