Hello Valerie,

I did not get the idea of "cold press paper" -- is it a kind of "bristol" with a soft surface or do you pass the paper under press yourself?

Also why did you take away that great watercolor? Even if it is not a portrait we are discussing the technique so any illustrations of it are helpful, I think.

Concerning my firefighting: I consider FIRE as a mystical entity, a kind of "zarathustrian" God, which takes form in many things like "passion", "love", painting" or "firefighting". In fact I cannot make the difference between the two activities: one of them is saving people's "body" the other one is saving their "soul".

Friendly Regards! Sergio. Thanks for your replies and post some of your works for discussion too!

P.S. Look at the third page in this section to see the progression of my work from the photo to the drawing and painting please!
