Shout Out to Melody Guzman | |

"I was so drawn to this painting because I am a pianist too. I taught privately for 15 years. This was a joy to paint, and your tutorial was wonderful! Thank you so much for the fabulous selection of tutorials!!"
"I absolutely love all of them! Please critique as necessary. This is a 20x20 stretched canvas using Abstract acrylics. Love you both!" - Melody
Ginger's reply: "Excellent painting. You did such a beautiful job on the lights and darks, and I think your face, skin tones, and colors in this painting are outstanding. I am going to post your awesome painting on Pinterest on our new 2023 student board."
