WOW.

I'm with Sharon: what more could one ask? Just great stuff, Bill (geez, may I call you that?). I hate to seem like a sycophant, but you are iconic in my book of contemporary figure painters. With your permission, I hope to commit to memory the techniques here and pass them on to my students; this info is priceless.

I must tell you, one of assignments in the beginning drawing class I taught last semester was to copy a master. There was a lot of Bouguereau and Leonardo and Lord Leighton. But one student came in with a printout of "The Secret." I was very happy to point this out and say, "Here's a guy who's not dead!" His drawing came out very good indeed - a breakthrough, actually.

A light touch, eh? I'm like King Kong when it comes to alla prima. Better lay off the bananas and practice more!

Kimberly - AWESOME link. I've been looking for the very thing.
