You have got to be one of the best art educators that I have read. Your points are right on target. And you have a baseline of simplicity and intelligence. Many art instruction writers talk more about themselves and what they do but you talk about what students should do and how they should learn and practice.
Wish you were in the US.

Hello.  I wanted to thank you for writing such a wonderful book.  The examples are so clear and illustrative.  Your writing is also very understandable and gets quickly to the point.  As an amateur painter, I learned a lot.  It was a great review/re-emphasis of what I had read in the past and also new ideas as well. Anyways, just wanted to say thanks.  Take care.

I very much enjoyed reading your book.  It is absolutely packed with well organized and valuable information pertinent to a person as myself who is just learning and needs, not only guidance, but also a way to see the big picture of what it will take to get started. After having completed a few paintings, I can now look at them and clearly recognize my errors and work this guidance into my next planned oil painting. Thank you.
