Immerse yourself in the magical world of watercolor, where colors come to life and transform into emotions that dance on paper. Every brushstroke is an opportunity to express yourself creatively and let yourself be carried away on a dreamlike journey of imagination.
Cinzia Zenocchini is a professional illustrator with extensive experience in the field. Over the years, he has had the pleasure of collaborating with prestigious brands such as Fendi, Dior, Ikea and Esselunga, but also with local companies and private clients. His activity includes the creation of editorial projects, especially for the weekly Io Donna, but also the creation of personal works.
Watercolor is a technique that Cinzia particularly loves because it allows her to express her creativity freely and spontaneously. With just a few strokes he manages to represent an atmosphere or to tell an emotion, leaving room for dreams and imagination.
In her online course, you'll learn how to express your memories on paper and turn them into digital illustrations with Photoshop. Explore the expressiveness of watercolor and have fun creating unique and personal works!

Reviews
A course by Cinzia Zenocchini
Graduated in communication design, she began working as a graphic designer and then devoted herself fully to illustration, which has fascinated her since she was a child.
The aesthetic component is very important in Cinzia's work, as she constantly strives to achieve a visually satisfying and balanced result. However, she is not limited to visual beauty alone but uses her art as a means of communication and personal expression.
Cinzia loves fixing the memories and places that have struck her on paper, trying to represent the elements of the landscape in a personal and intimate way. She also tries to include in her works the sensations and emotions she feels when she observes the places and objects that surround her, thus creating an illustration that goes beyond the simple description of the space.
