Hi there! Liron here with another lesson in the How to Simplify Course!
This time I'll give you a quick brief of a few ways of simplifying our paintings, using this cool pineapple as the subject.
The goal here isn't to provide a detailed process, but rather show some of the options, and encourage you to also try simplifying the same subject multiple times and in different ways.
There will be detailed demos for each of these in future lessons.
