Reviews
A course by Chiara Bacchini
Chiara Bacchini is an Italian calligraphy artist who grew up in a family of craftsmen and women: her aunts were dressmakers, her uncle was a carpenter, and her grandmothers were experts in embroidery and crochet. As a result, she spent her childhood immersed in a creative atmosphere. She began studying calligraphy in 2009 and went on to pioneer a movement in Italy when she started posting her work on Instagram and creating a buzz.
Riding on this success, she started teaching courses as well as producing and selling stamps with her designs. In 2014, she decided to take the leap and transformed her passion into a full-time job by opening her own online stationery store.

Un curso muy bonito. Se aprende mucho en poco tiempo. No es un curso profundo de lettering. Si lo que buscas es eso debes buscar otro curso pero para lo que yo buscaba es perfecto. Hacer cosas bonitas con letras sencillas. Hay bastante información y hay mucho que practicar.
@limoni_girasoli, sobre lo borroso del video verifica los "settings" cuando lo estés viendo. Yo cambié la calidad de 224p a 1080p y se solucionó. Le das pausa, vas a la rueda de "settings" y ahí haces el cambio.

Il corso è molto bello e lei è molto chiara nelle spiegazioni. Tutto molto interessante.
Peccato che, quando si guarda il video a tutto schermo sul computer, l'immagine diventa completamente sfuocata quindi si vanno a perdere tutte le indicazioni visive che lei illustra sul programma Procreate su tablet.
