- Un muy buen curso. Me sirvió para soltarme más a la hora de dibujar y no quedarme pensando en todos los detalles que creía que eran relevantes.mvgalejandro8 days ago
- I enjoyed the course so far. But I'm not finished. I took my time, watched each segment several times, practiced a lot, and met my self-commitment to work on it every day. I learned a lot and while going through my sketchbook, I was surprised and impressed with my accomplishments. Mr. Adolfsson was clear, supportive, interesting, very talented, and knowledgeable. One suggestion. When he shows his work, allow more opportunities for participants to see his work. His hands were often in the way.mjenich12 days ago
- I am truly grateful for the amount of knowledge I have gained here. Isometries pose a bit of a challenge for me, but I am aware that practice makes perfect. Overall, I can definitely recommend the course – especially if you diligently do your homework!chris_gutknecht_art18 days ago
