Dear Michele, Mischa and Steven
Thanks for your great advice, clarity and support. My admiration to you all here, for taking the time to share your knowledge so willingly.
I don't think I have realised the actual value of the books just yet. The excitement is racing in me when I can see my attempts progress from drawing to drawing. What a wonderful pleasure it is to learn about classical realism, even with the frustrations and isolation. I am so very thankful for SOG.
Yes, I do feel that a lack of skills can stiffen up an artist or hold them back creatively. Not having the skills to do what my mind and heart wants is the main reason I started my classical training. Sometimes, I do find it hard not being able to bounce questions off the cuff to a teacher, like in atelier training or apprentice. I suppose that is where an apprectice gets an advantage to ask the master, or atelier training comes in handy.
I will take all advice very seriously and in my stride. Thanks heaps.
(Synchronicity or what! I was just listening to 'I believe in you' on the CD by Il Divo as I wrote this. Hmmmm!!!!)
