Hello Marc, sorry to bother you but I have to propose a technical question: given that lately in Italy the weather is always bad, I would like to ask you if the preparation of the sun thickened linseed oil linseed oil thickens due to the heat of the sun or due to sunlight? I ask this because I would have thought possibly to use the lamps that mimic sunlight to thicken the oil, do you think it can work?

I use the mirror technique often when creating logo’s or marks…often turn them upside down as well! – I also look at the mirror -mirror image of myself too and often reflect on what others really see – as we are tricked by this on the daily when we look in the mirror! hahaa…

These videos were really fun to watch, you have a subtle sense of humor in you explanations, the music works great, I could listen to anything for a minute anyway. I was unfamiliar with the cuttle bone, Canada Balsam, and scraping out portraits as a part of ones routine, rather then when one just messes things up. Also, I had only seen sight size used in figurative work. Jim McVicker recommended that I check out your work, it is really lovely, am an instant fan!

i didn’t find the background tunes distracting.

i appreciated that the video clips were kept to a minimum (up to 120 seconds) and the captions appear where appropriate. i personally find that memory retention seems greater if the video clip is kept under 120 seconds. i’m sure milage will vary from person to person.

looking forward to more tips.

Thanks Marc! I tried the cuttlebone suggestion and it worked great.
