Apparently this course was more about what materials cost and which stores to buy them in. Not much about how to use the products. The last two films were the best because here you got to see and what you can do with all the material, however, it went a bit fast, little explanations of what to do. Waste of money if you want to learn something, very sad.

It made sense to find out how to USE things I have bought...sometimes on impulse. I am looking forward to this overview!!

This course was not at all what I expected. It focused on materials and tools and where to obtain them. Technique was barely covered at all. There were several references to different YouTube channels and blogs, most of which I have already visited. I was hoping for some original content on techniques and how-tos. Unfortunately, because I continued to watch, hoping for something of substance, this is not eligible for refund. The content is good for an absolute beginner that needs to be told how to do and where to purchase the most basic supplies.
