My skills are not good enough yet to warrant membership -- but I am very appreciative to all of you for the information you so generously share on this site and I wouldn't change a thing about the standards you've set. The material is informative and incredibly helpful to a beginner who really wants to improve yet doesn't have access to portrait classes on a regular basis.

I've spent hours on your site studying the material for clues as why my work isn't turning out the way I want, learning about painters and their different styles and trying some of your experiments to push my skills. As a result, I'm doing more work and getting better. One day I'll be at a level where I feel confident enough to apply and then I'll feel like I've earned the right to be a part of this marvelous site.

Thank You
