The Kits were great and the video walked us right through the process. It was nice to stop and rewind the video when we needed to. The only criticism is that it would have been nice for the video to be more informative about the paint before we got started. For example, I would appreciate that host telling us what colors we need at the time we need them and about how much of each color we will need. Some of the colors we only used a small portion of and yet they took up space on my palette. Additionally, some of those colors were not used until later in the painting, so they kinda formed a skin sitting on the palette unused. I know its kinda critical, but if in the beginning of the video the host stated what colors to start with and the portions we would need and then had us get out other colors as we needed them, it would be a simple solution.
We all enjoyed our first painting session. Loved that we could go at our own pace and in the comfort of our home! Already planning on which one to order for our next painting session. Thank you for making it so easy from ordering to set up!
I purchased a video tutorial for my younger sisters birthday! She loved doing this with her best friend virtually!
