Pawsome!

I am a little disappointed in this course...never would have paid what I did, now that it is even cheaper. Although you are a wonderful artist just watching you and not having you describe what you are doing is not helpful. You are going between different layers, why, you are changing the opacity and flow levels, why...please explain why you are doing what you are doing. Just watching you paint the portrait -- although I LOVE your model -- really hasn't helped me at all.

Very poor instruction. She gives the .psd file at the end of the video (done in YouTube style) with no explanation of what she was doing with Photoshop during the video to create the portrait. . All you see is her painting. and sometimes, not even that! You can't even see the brush movements. Then the background has endless, canned, repetitive music. It's a startle when you actually here her say something.
