I am half way through this course and finding it very useful in my quest to learn how to paint portraits. Duffy Sheridan teaches at a slow informal pace that can sometimes be tedious but I personally like his laid back style, one gets to know him after a while, this is nice because he seems to be a decent relaxed – American type of dude. He is also extremely talented which is an important ingredient to me enjoying his portrait painting course.
This clip shows several minutes segments from the dvd by painter Robert Liberace. More info at www.robertliberace.com.

Buy some cheap art! I stumbled across this site, Daily Paintworks today, it’s a family business in Texas selling artwork online. It is mass production at a price most ordinary folks can afford. A good idea!
I am getting more ambitious with my lunchtime sketching, this time I used real watercolour paper, taped onto board. The painting took three lunch breaks to complete also and not the usual one. I am trying to be more patient when I paint, I think three hours is a long time while professional portrait artists can spend one hundred hours easily on just one painting, I have room to improve my level of patience.
