PlusWhat a complete teacher you are! Pace is perfect, repetitions are perfect, details come at the perfect time in the skill. I’m not a beginner but I’ve already learned details that I didn’t already know. You encourage me to slow down and not go for speed as I tend to do too soon. I’m very encouraged by your teaching techniques and begin to think maybe this time I can do color work without loosing my place in the plan. I’m going to watch it all and then do the project after that.
