I've deleted the first part of this original post since it wouldnt make sense now. The lines I was responding to were changed.
I've left in the below part so it's clear why the following post was put in. It's all off topic now...
I am also sure I would not take every single thing you taught and use it. I have my own style and want to develop that - which I can do taking tips and bits from many artists I admire. What bothers me is when someone says that their way is the only correct way.
When I think about learning from someone I want a teacher who will help me improve MY paintings - not change my entire style. I don't want to paint exactly like you Marvin - one Marvin is good....a bunch of Marvin's would be boring. I don't want to paint like any other artist. I want to paint like me - a constantly improving me.
