Buen curso. Un poco rápido, creo que se pudo profundizar un poco más en ciertas cosas, pero me gustó mucho la técnica.

Inspiring quick overview. Teacher is skilled, her influences and additional resources are excellent. The materials list and other documents are not translated into English. I had to read the forum to learn of alternative papers and printing techniques since her expectations are for professional quality requiring significant cost. Like others I found it to be a bit breezy and lacking in details, such as whether to let paint layers dry before adding others and what kind of paint she used.

Gostei do curso porque aprendi o que precisava : como pintar as fotografias antigas, como conjugar as cores e como utilizar os diferentes meios de acordo com o que pretendemos transmitir.
À medida que vou praticando , vou gostando cada vez mais do desafio! 😀
