Questo corso mi è piaciuto molto. L'insegnante simpaticissima ha spiegato la tecnica in modo chiaro ed esaustivo ed ha fornito ottimi consigli. Inoltre provando la tecnica mi è piaciuto molto il colore caldo del legno e l'effetto dell'acquerello che tralascia intravedere tutte le venature naturali del supporto.
