“Thank you for taking my course. Hope you enjoyed the time you spent with me and learned some interesting things. I leave you here an example of presentation of your project which lets me see your process as your final work: Color palette: Identify a color palette and floral patterns on photographic references that inspire you.

The sketch: On a sheet of cellulose paper, make a light pencil sketch to visualize your creation.
