Thanks Marvin for your inspiration.
The Bargue book is not understood easily to most student and professional alike as you have mentioned but more so for students that the book was intended for.
I envisage that after I master a high level of artistic skills at some unknown point in the future, I will look back on whether I was fortunate enough to gain its real value that I may or may not have grasped at that time of my training due possibly to the way it was designed and our conversation here on this forum. If this book is truly a gem that you speak of, please allow me to see a glimpse of what you see for the sake of my enthusiasm towards my own self training.
Any loss or lack or understanding does change the course of one's career as you have so pointed out. When then, is it's importance of the efficient use of this books plates, of the real value most needed to a student? In the beginning of their training as a portrait artist?
You speak highly of your program for those fortunate enough to study with you. I wander what assistance you are williing, if any, to offer those geographically and financially disadvantaged but who still need guidance into its valued structured lessons that you speak of.
I feel my procrastination to the exercises (although eager and enthusiastic at first instance could be the cause of the wain from not understanding their value) seem to stem from them being undervalued and misunderstood.
If you were given a chance to inspire a long distance student to understand the great value of the book (like myself) that you hold so dear, what encouragement or guidance would you be willing to offer students?
