    Thanks for creating this; looks very interesting. I’m wondering though about the images though, and wondering if  you could zip/rar/batch the downloadable reference image files. Getting 272 images takes a lot of clicking, time, etc. to get what looks to be some great references.

    This problem seems to be wide spread, and sorry, but this could be an opportunity to rethink how students get reference images, including a way to know what you have and have not downloaded.

    Thanks for your consideration, and stay healthy.

    I think he said that he’s using a permanent alizarin crimson.

    “The Renaissance began in the 15th century”

     

    Which is exactly why I referenced it… 😉

    I am surprised and disappointed to read Domenica’s comments.

     

    While I can’t understand such provincial attitudes (sorry, but that’s fair), they – obviously – exist.

     

    Please do NOT change the access to nude models. It’s sad to say, but those that are ashamed of the human body have issues that can’t be worked out here, but those easily offended can either limit their own viewing.

     

    Or perhaps…. prepare to join the 15th century…

    Glad to read about the new realist landscape and still life painting courses coming this year (soon I hope). As a new member, I’ve been going through a lot of videos getting to know what’s available and it’s been a lot of fun.

     

    I’ve been exposed/used sight size (from an ex- FAA instructor, Darrin Rouser’s books/videos, et. al.) but it’s great to see your thorough coverage.

     

    Just some quick thoughts – I know you’re working on landscape courses, but it also might be fun to see a landscape drawing course using traditional tools. Sketching landscapes is often a preliminary step for many, but there are also some beautiful highly rendered drawings that can stand alone as well. Tying it together could be a Carlson/Payne’esqe/et. al course on composition (or is this Kearns “designing” course?). It would be lots of fun.

     

    Thanks again for all your hard work.
