Une logorrhée mais sans véritable explication et peu de démonstration ça se filme plus que la réalisation elle-même

PlusFunny story, I did go to art school and had a few painting classes, but it never made sense to me, so I never developed much interest in continuing to paint for fun. Daphne opened a completely new world for me. The way she teaches is completely different from my art school and simply, suddenly, made everything click in my mind. She knows how to break down information for beginners and is extremely talented. I feel better equipped now to start painting again. Highly recommend!

PlusUna extensa y detallada explicación que enseña a pintar desde cero, con su delicada y paciente forma de enseñar nos sumerje en cada paso del proceso de una pintura. Aprendí mucho más tips que en otros cursos y tutoriales. Para llegar al resultado final hemos volcado mucho de nosotros y lo veremos reflejado en el resultado. Muy recomendable
