Delighted with this new acquisition. It remains very nice and gives a lot of fun to the wall of my kitchen.
Excellent illustrations of a wonderful town, with watercolors that transport you to all those beautiful landscapes! ✨
I'm not an art student, but I enjoy looking at art, and I have to admit that drawing relaxes me, although I don't do it very, very little, because I don't have the time and because I don't think I'm very good at it. The course has helped me understand that if you enjoy drawing, do it... and if you don't like the result, just throw it away. If you improve with practice, then great! And if not, or if you improve slowly, so what! The important thing is to enjoy the process. So, it's fantastic, because I'll be able to draw whenever I want without feeling "guilty" about not doing it well and wasting time. As for the quality/price ratio, it's unbeatable!
I love it. I've really enjoyed the experience of getting to know an artist like Marroiak a little. The course has been a true gift, with well-chosen, natural, and sincere words. I truly believe it's something we should all hear and read, especially when there are so many ways to create art and so few ways to distance ourselves from creativity, but we humans are soft. I think that's why we sometimes forget to enjoy it and become critical, blind. We forget that behind a work of art there's an artist, a moment, a child, feelings... and although we focus a lot on aesthetics, we must also be open to that, receptive to observing, learning, and enjoying. And well, I'm grateful, and remembering it again now... good morning! Goodbye! I'm off to draw with all my heart :D
