    • Hi Sumita,

      This sounds like you may be having an issue with connecting with a stable internet connection. The download links are working properly. In the future, send your technical issues using the contact form. The “Lesson Discussion” section is for asking questions and discussing the lesson. Thanks!

  2. Hi Matt, great series. Please could you do more pastel drawings, maybe of animals, people, scenes and ones like this? Iā€™m learning so much and am enjoying moving away from just blending with my finger to mixing the colours together on the paper. I like the painted look of blending this way. Thanks šŸ™‚
