So much more than just another course. I am not even painting with acrylics and I don’t plan to, just wanted to see the industry veteran in action. All the little nodes related to the preparation, design, attitude, learning, constant stream of information from someone who really has much to share. By far the best course i have seen on Domestika so far.

Een cursus die niet alleen enorm inspireert, maar je ook in de juist mood brengt en bijzonder fijn was om naar te kijken. Jesper is een fijn mens en een zeer waardige leraar. Ik heb van de instructies genoten en geniet nog veel meer van wat er op mijn creatieve weg komen gaat met behulp van deze mooie cursus.
