Reviews
Visual artist and illustrator Luli Reis learned from an early age to admire the colors, shapes, and textures of plant life. Daughter of biologists and granddaughter of an artist, her passion for nature is evident in her expressive watercolor illustrations.
As a self-taught student as well as a teacher, her work is featured throughout her eBook Aquarela Básica: tudo que eu gostaria que tivessem me falado quando comecei, in personal collections, and as prints for a range of brands across Brazil and internationally.

SONO PIENAMENTE SODDISFATTA DEL CORSO! LULI REIS E' MOLTO CHIARA E ACCURATA NELLE SPIEGAZIONI, IL CORSO E' BEN ORGANIZZATO IN OGNI FASE E , NONOSTANTE IO ABBIA GIA' ESPERIENZA CON DISEGNI, ACQUERELLI E PHOTOSHOP, HO IMPARATO COMUNQUE NUOVE INTERESSANTI COMPETENZE. I SUGGERIMENTI PER LAVORARE CON LA PROPRIA ARTE SONO STATI ASSOLUTAMENTE PREZIOSI. CONSIGLIO VIVAMENTE DI SEGUIRE LE LEZIONI DI LULI!

Disfruté mucho el curso, la profesora brinda información muy útil sobre las técnicas básicas de la acuarela, como digitalizar la obra y otras maneras de vender nuestro trabajo fuera del entorno virtual. Solo mejoraría la traducción al español de los subtítulos del curso.

I'm not so happy with this course. Not the course itself, but the subtitles. So disappointed there is no English voiceover. Even with subtitles, it is much better to be able to hear what is being said rather than taking your eyes off the work to read what is being said. I know I can pause and replay but what a tedious thing, and it certainly interrupts my creative flow.
