I am really enjoying the continuation from the first issue. Very educational content and Wendy Murdoch’s clear way of explaining things really work! The streaming format is lovely. I would like an option to download the content though for times when I am off-line.
The Western artists are SO talented and produce lovely quality work. Thank you Emily and Eclectic Horseman for filming and documenting these videos.
