Mischa, thank you for your support for students.

I started Plate 4 - ears some time ago and got to half way as my impatience annoyed me doing the curves. I am looking at it now and am going to have to fight with my procrastination, my ignorance and inabilities to strive to do these exercises the best I can at this present moment of my training.

It is funny how we don't think we need this sort of training in our heads we think we are so much better than we are, we certainly come down to earth with exercises like these that test your sight measuring and artistic abilities. I haven't gotten into the habit of standing back and measuring with an outstretched arm and brush yet as I thought my eye training (as limited as it is) would allow me to wing it. Oh, how I was oh so wrong in my assumptions and expectations.

From now on I have to take it one step at a time.
