Hello, everyone,
I've been lurking about for a few days and after reading this thread in particular, I felt that it was time to join up. For those interested in drawing and painting, I have found
http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/ to be full of well-conveyed information. James Gurney is the fellow that brought us the Dinotopia books. And, as they say, he knows which end of the brush goes into the paint.
Reading this has been tremedously insightful and inspiring. And I cannot wait until this week-end, when I shall have the time to hit the easel again and apply what I have learned here.
Thank you,
Burgess Shale
