Bastante explicativo. recomendado.
Comecei o curso e já adorei desde o início porque me ajudou a pensar sobre as cores de forma mais independente. Também achei fantástica a ideia de usar as cores que já temos e fazer uma espécie de inventário delas no círculo cromático, o que me permitiu ver o que é possível fazer com elas, sem precisar comprar várias tintas nem me limitar apenas à paleta de cores mais puras. Pra mim, já valeu a pena desde o começo.
Ho acquistato questo corso diverso tempo fa, ora che sono più libera ho deciso di seguirlo con attenzione e l'ho amato tantissimo! Prima sceglievo i colori in base ai miei gusti, ma nonostante questo non ottenevo il risultato che mi aspettavo. Grazie a questo corso ho capito il perchè! Lo consiglio fortemente perchè è davvero interessante e divertente. Io sto lavorando alla mia tavola cromatica personale con molta curiosità ed entusiasmo, lo consiglio al 100%
muy divertido y de conocimiento útil
