PlusUna extensa y detallada explicación que enseña a pintar desde cero, con su delicada y paciente forma de enseñar nos sumerje en cada paso del proceso de una pintura. Aprendí mucho más tips que en otros cursos y tutoriales. Para llegar al resultado final hemos volcado mucho de nosotros y lo veremos reflejado en el resultado. Muy recomendable
