I learnt a lot in this module. The course is awesome.
I enjoyed this episode about simplifying an image even with simple forms. Now I will do my best to give it a try.
Hello Matt,
Here I am again with my questions. I realized that I only have a warm grey paper.
Since red is a warm color I printed out the red version. I figured this would help me not depend completely on your work and have to think how the red on warmer paper would turn out.
Do you think this will work okay? Red on the warm grey paper?
Thank you again and greetings to your family. I do hope that you are not affected by all the flooding on the coast. I do believe you live a little more inland.
Thank you for all of your help, your teach style that is so easy to follow, and your kindness as you teach.
Warmest regards,
Teri
Hi Teri,
Yes, absolutely – that paper will work just fine. Yes, we have not experienced any flooding that others have had to deal with.
Thank you Matt for another quick response. I’ll get to work here a little later today. Always greetings to your family.
Teri
