It’s important to understand that everyone’s finish will be different. No two finishes will look the same. Be patient with yourself and go over each step of the video as you begin. I learn better from repetition and having a video to replay and review can be very helpful.
I know you can do this. As always, please feel free to reach out to me by email if you have any questions at [email protected]
Happy painting!
