The education part of everything was wonderful! I feel I took away some helpful tips for my doodles, my only remark on the one less star is I wish the camera work was set up better so we could see everything. I feel there were parts I really wanted to see but it was totally blocked by her body or the dog. Other than that it was a great class! I’m just a very visual learner

Tess is so funny; her humor kept the video going. It was amazing to see the results of the explanations given in her first video with Rocco. The angles in this video were significantly improved over the first, allowing you to see what she was doing this time around, even as she covered many of the same points.
