Posterizing your Photograph
The Eyes Have It
Smiles and Pearly Whites.
Three specific features that I enjoyed about this course were:
- the Live sessions
- the ability to see others work and
- to hear how they overcame some of the issues they were having.
I would recommend this course because you get to work at your own speed. You have access to a great instructor and you end up with a finished project that you can be proud of. It doesn't end up being a UFO that sits unfinished for whatever reason!
The videos in the course are a great help to explain the methodology and the PDF files helped when I just wanted to look up some small thing. So you read the files and watch the videos and start!
I would recommend this course to anyone who is passionate about fabric and art. It put me on another level.
It helped me to realize that I can be an artist.
