Hi Ilaria,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I too use the same method on my own work, and i find it helps to speed things up. As a matter of fact, i realise using palette knives like we do early in our paintings, enables us to work quickly over those areas that are less in priority, and enables us to focus on the main areas.
Linda, thanks for sharing the link. Unfortunately there was nothing there except to some links to possible sales of Mr Loomis' books. However, i wonder if the informal subdivision you mentioned, is anything close to this image i found from another old book published by VICIANA. Iit looks quite similar to the one used in Assael's demo pic, except it still is a mystery about the two extensions from the top of the heads, in the top middle section of the painting.
Chris,Did you manage to get a hold of him on the phone?
