Monica Pepicelli
It is so for beginners. Her You Tube video is way better and if she was able to create a course based on what she covered there - that would be worthwhile. Glad it was reasonable.

This class is titled getting started for a reason. It tells you all the basics about material use for you to just get started and play with the medium. Enjoy the process!
