PlusAs with most courses, it's very hard to absorb all details, so I will rewatch most if not all of the lessons. I particularly appreciate Violeta's reassurance that as a floral designer you can expect to go back and adjust your creation--perfection is not required. I would like more detailed explanation of floral principles, especially the triangle composition. As an English speaker, I'm still unclear how to view the additional materials and PDF's in English but I'll keep trying.
