In reply to Andy Roberts. Actually though for a German name of a German company, in German, it is pronounced as Stetler.

In reply to Connie Costello. Hi Connie, This is an older series and was missing the speed option. I have just added it. You can now change the speed on this lesson series. To do so, scroll over the video player and click on the gear icon. Then choose the speed at which you would like the video to play. I hope this helps.

Hello
I am enjoying your lesson but I so wish you had fast replay. I would prefer to watch your lesson quickly first or skip some parts entirely. I am checking out other sites like skill share and this might be a deal breaker for me but know that you are awesome. THANKS!

Hi Matt, Just got back from a trip to Madrid, so I’m catching up. I thought you might like to know that the correct pronunciation of Staedtler is Stedler.

Now that I am trying to work along with you I don’t have time to chat. I am finding that you are going much faster when I am trying to work along with you. I think that is good for me because I think it is too easy for me to get bogged down in detail. Great class. Gail Taylor

In reply to Brandy W. Hi Brandy, Yes, the general shape included the petals. I like to work from broad shapes first and then define the smaller shapes within the larger ones. The ellipses that were drawn for the overall shape of each flower included the petals. I then went back and defined the shapes for each petal within the larger elliptical shape.
