When you play with pencils and brushes, you set your mind and self-expression free. And now Jessica Cok from Letters by Jess, a lettering and watercolor specialist who has collaborated with international brands like Samsung and Faber Castell, invites you to join her for a course that combines two of her favorite techniques.
Design an eye-catching composition with script-style letters and use metallic watercolors to give it a unique finish. Master both techniques through a series of exercises to create beautiful, stylish letters bursting with color. And if you don’t have metallic watercolors, Jess also shows you how to create a metallic finish using traditional watercolors.

El curso está muy bien, la profesora explica pausadamente y te da tiempo a seguirla, especialmente a los que somos principiantes.
Lo recomiendo!
