Me encanto el curso! Amo pintar con acuarela, pero la verdad que pos cuestiones de tiempo, las habia dejado de lado. Pero desde este curso me devolvio la pasión de pintar con las acuarelas!

Je suis déçue par ce cours : la phase dessin est trop succinte et n'aide pas du tout à reproduire une photo.
Globalement, chaque étape est trop superficielle, trop rapide.

El curso es muy fácil y ameno de seguir, presentando una forma novedosa de pintar rostros principalmente. Esta técnica creo que se puede aplicar a personsas de la vida normal, no solo a personajes, dandóle un toque distintivo a tu ilustración.
