Testimonials:

"I have watched video twice with great interest. It is most instructive to see the first lines gradually built into the finished portrait. First the structure, then the bracketing values, then the rough features, then the sensitive modeling. The finished work is a subtle meeting between you and the model, respecting both his likeness and your take on him, the combination more alive than any photograph.

"The model is a map to be interpreted... I like to follow my feelings..."

This is where art lives.

I thought there was just the right amount of voice over---instructive, leaving plenty of time to watch." - Straightwalker, Seattle, USA via Steemit.com
