Muy bueno el curso, explica genial.
EL curso es muy interesante, es evidente la profesionalidad de Nuria Blanco en cada clase. Me ha gustado mucho, el problema mas recurrente que he visto en este curso y en otros que ya he hecho en Domestika es que se hacen preguntas muy interesantes por parte de los alumnos, que muchas veces tenemos varios de los cursantes y nunca son respondidas. Esto deberían ver como se soluciona porq se siente frustrante no tener respuesta. Gracias.
Me encantó el curso.
Muy bien explicado el paso a paso, las muestras son claras y reflejan los resultados de cada uno de los procedimientos
C’est un excellent cours créativité et conseils sont généreusement partagés
