It was informative, but very “slow.” Also, the video “hung up” a few times. Could it be done in parts?

Kristy shows her process of creating a painting, and is very detailed in her explanation of why she does each step; from how she selected her image, to what colors she's using on each step, to why she's using a certain brush, to the many different techniques and tricks for using w/c pencils. I didn't find it the type of video that you would work along with, but extremely informative.
