Great Demo showing layering and glazing technique. The instructors dialogue explains things that you cannot pickup without instruction. He shows how to do certain things like mask, and creating dark neutrals. Excellent Course.

Too low development of the demo. He actually doesn't use glazing technique but gradually moves on with classic brush work layer by layer. Sorry, but texture is not the typical attribute of glazing. I miss some rest shapes for the eye and spontaneous washes and lines for interest and momentum.
