Thank you for the offer of a shot of the painting, but I beg to differ. I'm number 14 on the waiting list for your April workshop and it looks like I won't get it - at least I can go see another in person. I'd appreciate it if you'd send figuratives in next year for the show.

Dear Bill,

This is such a lovely thread, and wonderful to see your steps. I can hardly wait to see you this spring.

WOW.

I'm with Sharon: what more could one ask? Just great stuff, Bill (geez, may I call you that?). I hate to seem like a sycophant, but you are iconic in my book of contemporary figure painters. With your permission, I hope to commit to memory the techniques here and pass them on to my students; this info is priceless.

I must tell you, one of assignments in the beginning drawing class I taught last semester was to copy a master. There was a lot of Bouguereau and Leonardo and Lord Leighton. But one student came in with a printout of "The Secret." I was very happy to point this out and say, "Here's a guy who's not dead!" His drawing came out very good indeed - a breakthrough, actually.

A light touch, eh? I'm like King Kong when it comes to alla prima. Better lay off the bananas and practice more!

Kimberly - AWESOME link. I've been looking for the very thing.

Bill, can you humor me and prehaps others and post an extreme super-duper close up of your brush work? I am with Tim, you brush work is loose and painterly but your images, as the face here are so smooth and finished looking!

It must be magic!

Another gem!
