The Shelee Art Style is so much more than just a “RECIPE”. It’s about consistency and understanding how your paints react with each other. If you are interested in learning more I would highly encourage you to join the SheleeArt course. The biggest benefit of the course in my mind is the access to a worldwide community of like minded artists to ask questions of and share your journey.
