Thanks for the info, Steven. Last Winter I printed off the demo you mentioned and about three others from the net. There's SO much valuable info out there today.

This year I now have a large room dedicated to nothing but hobbies and avocations (meditation, art, music, and the 'Slither Twins') so I have a pretty big section of the room for just drawing/painting setups. I currently have the cast set on top of a black-draped four-feet high dresser with a grey background cloth hung. I'm 6'1" and so I have to set my easel up in such a way that I'm actually looking slightly down on the cast somewhat if I use the sight-size method. But I'm wondering if this will cause problems. Should I find a way to raise it up higher so that I'm looking dead on? I haven't yet found an easel that allows me to stand fully erect and paint in a way that I'm completely comfortable. I always feel I'm somewhat crouched when drawing or painting.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Minh
