After you&#8217;ve caught your breath, read on. The painting is just under life-size and I recall reading somewhere that van Dyck carted it around on his travels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anatomy study is extremely helpful to the figurative artist because knowing what one is looking at can help with correcting observational mistakes. Be aware however that any intellectual study, be it anatomical, form or construction carries with it the potential that the artist will over-think what they actually see. Over-modeling, via anatomy or form is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A good visual memory is a must for representational artists. While it is debatable how much skill in this area we are born with, training or improving yours takes concerted effort. Two of my early teachers, Richard Lack and Annette LeSueur, both suggested that their students pursue memory drawing and this post provides the details. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope that the concern over whether to use photos or not never dies because the quality and role of an artist’s reference is of the utmost importance for a representational painter. But because of implied or assumed ethical issues these discussions seem destined to end like the ‘is Illustration a Fine Art’ discussions. Often [...]]]></description>

From there we moved onto still life and so on, all via Sight-Size.
