Great course! I really liked understanding the thinking behind this type of journal/ log composition. Ivan makes it looks so easy and I think that is part of his magic. I would like to have understood the paints/tools that he uses a bit better. I'd like to try some of these techniques but I'll have to figure out the colours now.
