Plusvery inspiring course!

Corso molto valido e ben realizzato.
Mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere all'inizio qualcosa sulla ricerca delle immagini; quale era lo scopo finale, l'emozione da replicare?
Mi sarebbe piaciuto avere delle informazioni anche sulle classiche tele da pittura.
Nell'ottima parte finale sulla promozione del dipinto mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere anche come viene spedito/imballato un disegno su tela o su foglio.
