I really enjoyed this class. I tried to seal this before framing and ended up having to reapply the pan pastel background, so I won’t be doing that again! It ended up fine.

Thank you! There are so many great artists on here, and as much as I try not to compare my journey with other artists, I do feel nervous about posting my work. Thank you for the encouragement!
