Unfortunately I have not started this class yet. Too many good deals on Altenew sales and I have been busy with other classes. I will update my review once I have taken the class.
This is a very inspirational course. It gives so many wonderful ideas.
Nice classes to learn how to use your inks in different ways. Nice examples.
This is one of those courses that goes into intricate detail of the information offered, and the videos are detailed. There are many useful ideas and techniques, and a thorough discussion of all elements presented. There are also bonus lessons for additional techniques mentioned in case you are not familiar with them.
I would recommend this to people who want to learn how to use ink in the usual and not-so-usual ways to maximize your options.

If you are new to masking then this is the class for you!
I found it informative but as I had already done A wee bit of masking before I found it too basic for what I was wanting.
Otherwise it's a great class!
This is a very clear and informative course with lots of ideas to create beautiful layered cards.
I loved this course. Svitlana introduces many advanced masking elements I had never even thought of or seen before. I learned so many new things, and am inspired and motivated to try masking again. Even using the more basic masking she shows us how to create multiple-layered works that are simply gorgeous. I would go so far as to say that every card-maker would want to attend this course.

I love the look of watercolor but couldn’t get it right until this class. Now I have a new skill. Thanks!
When I got this set of watercolors in the mail I was so excited, but I needed this class to get me started, as I'm new to water coloring.
Jennifer is so friendly, and each little project gave me several ideas for techniques I could use. Also, it was interesting to see what colors she was using, as they are not necessarily the ones I would use. I got beautiful results while doing my "homework".
Jennifer is a great teacher and I learned a lot of her class. Well worth the time and love that I can replay the lessons to continue working on my skills.
I bought the Watercolor Pan Set as soon as it was released and I just loved it so much that I had to sign up for this class to see Jennifer Rzasa use it and pick up some tips. It was a great class, and I thoroughly recommend it if you love watercolor or even if you are a bit scared of it! Btw I did the full glazing chart and 36 x 36 colours = 1296 colours - that's a lot of gorgeous colours from one set!
