Whew!
I do think people underestimate the amount of information a serious artist needs.
This discussion belies the notion that an artist is someone who simply picks up a brush, any brush, and daubs some paint, any paint on a surface, any surface. There are those of course who do this because they feel that knowledge is an impediment to artistic freedom.
Thank-you both for engaging in this very enlightening thread. It has helped me a lot!
No I WILL NOT taste test flax-seed oil-yeesh!
