I enjoyed this course a lot. In addition to sharing tested inking and acrylic painting techniques, the artist discusses how to pay attention to your inner world and express it outward in your art. Recommended!

PlusI really enjoy watching him draw. There is such calmness about this process! too bad I dont understand spanish, reading the subtitles is a bit distracting from watching the images. I am following along, and I'm exited about the next step.
