Ngaire,
We are on the same path! Hopefully, Marvin's book will come out before too long. I know he is working on it. My plan was like yours, draw for two to three years and then learn to paint. And paint, paint, paint. I figure it will be a few years before I am at a level and have enough sample pieces to market my work - we'll see! In the meantime I am eliciting my nieces and nephews to sit for me. This will keep me busy for quite a while!!

Marvin talked one evening about the Bargue drawings. He believes they are very beneficial to study, even if you don't draw every plate. I use the book for reference allot, if I don't understand an angle of a particular feature.
