Nice blog Ron love your work already, just read your Gnomon Interview, lots of interesting knowledge. I now have a list of the 7 fundementals. Now off to buy 1 of your Portraiture DVD's. Then tomorrow I will look at this tutorial as well. Thankyou for posting and sharing this. Mike.

PS I am trying to learn about values and colors. the only info i can find about how to combine those two elements is draw form in black and white and add glazes to apply color. And to paint using color in the correct value, squint. I am not satisfied with ither of these answers to the problem they seem inadequate not useless just not the full answer. Do you have any books that you can suggest that cover this in detail, I found Harley Browns book but that is far to expensive. Im in New Zealand other wise I would enrol in your course in a heartbeat. Any help would be appreciated.

Just went to your school site and found a pdf on head drawing with a colour wheel and a corresponding value wheel, thanks. checking out your other stuff there as well. I think my favourite pieces are the Frazetta tribute, I'd like to be good enough to do a tribute to someone as great as him, the wizards of the coast and the harmonica player.

check out my blog since Ive written a book on yours (sorry) hehe, hey Im an artist.

Godzilla vs. Kincade

This was for a show we did at Studio2ndstreet called Changes. The Idea was to remove an idea from our culture that a commercial vehicle built; Thomas Kinkade's cottages do not represent quality fine art. First, that quality fine art is nothing more than a Print, or more eloquently put, a Giclee, that has a few factory placed(stamped) wax and varnish made raised brush strokes. Second, your print is number 47,043 of 50,000.  Do you feel special with that fine uniue purchase that 50,000 others have?  And not to mention the plates, mugs, cheap posters, t-shirts and g-strings that have the same image printed on them, but yes, it was a one of a kind...moment! What better way to remove this notion than to bring another pop idol in to do his thing?  You can see the way he is charging up his fire pit deep within to exhale another poorly built psuedo-medieval cottage.  You can also tell in his posture he is bored because there will be no one coming to fight against ...

We teach a class that goes over procedures for drawing the figure clothed. This semester was a really productive semester and all the students improved considerably from the beginning to the last class, and it was awesome to see the rapid growth. These are demonstrations and quick sketches from that class.
