Marvin:
Covino has spoken of Reilly, but I am not sure if he was directly a student or a peer. Clearly the color and value system, and controlled palette are definate similarities, and clearly Covino has created his own path and taken strides down it. Right or wrong is not for me to decide.
So even while I have set aside some of what I learned from Covino in favor of my own path - I don't use his medium and I don't do many verdaccios anymore - the color and value system was so valuable to me that I will use it till the day I die! What I learned from Covino saved me 20 years of banging my head against a wall.
