Je suis avec Florence depuis le début (2020). Florence est une artiste complète, talentueuse et elle a une façon de nous expliquer ses techniques d’une façon si simple ! Elle est un professeur hors pair et avec elle, nous touchons à tout (art animalier, portrait, graphite, fusain, aquarelle, pastel, encre, acrylique, etc) et nous progressons rapidement. Avec elle, il n’y a jamais de « catastrophe « . On corrige, ou on passe tout simplement à autre chose en nous disant qu’on vient de faire une bonne pratique. Merci Florence 💖
Vive l’artiste et son art.!!!!merci beaucoup à Florence de m.avoir réveillé de mon sommeil…en fait j.aime dessiner et je mets généralement trop de temps pour finir un dessin…mais avec Florence je comprends que si je veux en moins de temps je peux réaliser beaucoup de choses et corriger également mes imperfections. Merci !!!!
