My reading continues. I keep nodding furiously over what is being said and having the occasional ah-ha moment as the author discusses why you should learn drawing foremost, why you should follow the instruction of your teacher and accept the assignments for your own good. Some of it is just very well said and explained. Although the emphasis is certainly on painting, it is very applicable to all media. Just so much information in there about why technique comes before style, why you shouldn’t focus on subject matter and style while you’re a student, etc. Well done! Couple little bugaboos where a proofreader/editor could have been a help but I can live with it.
So far I’ve recommended it to several art-school-bound/customers and a favorite teacher/customer. I bet the teacher enjoys it and passes it along to students!
Hand sewing continues.
