Thanks for you reaction! I am learning a lot from his tapes. For example I never thought about tones and the important part they play in a portrait. It was something I did automatically, and now I am more conscious, it improves my work. I also now use his basic colours, mixed them myself and put them in tubes. It saves a lot of time mixing the basics and you can get on more with your portrait. He also has a tape on painting hands, which is really fascinating!
