Remember that for the final project, you can use all the techniques freely, apply mixed media tips and, above all, experiment and invent your own techniques with the resources you have.

Jesús Benítez
A course by Jesús Benítez
Jesús's training began by teaching himself at the age of 13, and his first canvases were walls. His current style, which is much more artistic and for which he uses his real name, Jesús Benítez, is the result of many years of practice painting in the street and his passion for classical painting and illustration.
He has participated in individual and collective exhibitions, showing the public his skills in disciplines as diverse as installation, graffiti, murals, sculpture, animation, and character design. He has also been invited to national and international mural festivals and has carried out projects in cities around the world, such as Hamburg, Rabat, Barcelona, San Francisco, Detroit, Valparaiso, and Tokyo, as well as in much of Mexico.
