David Hocney should take lessons from you as you project images on the canvas or paper.

I am sorry but I have no words of praise for your procedure. I think that copying a photo image is one thing but it should lead towards honest study of drawing and painting.

Your method, as advertised on your web page, gives the idea that all artist do the same thing. To me it belittles the hard working, talented artists and the life time of sincere and solid education. I do not think that there is one person on this forum, maybe one or two, that has not tried the projecting method but we have see the error of our way. Are you saying that one should go back to something that has been proven to be a falsity? You are honest about your method but then that suggests that all others are dishonest and this is the problem David Hocney has.

I apologize if my words seem a bit harsh but I feel that this is quite important when methods of procedure are questionable.
