Back in the day of hand drafting with a T-square and triangle for architects and engineers, the bag was used to provide "ball-bearings" to slide the Tsquare and triangle thus keeping and erasing smudges caused by dragging the T and Tri...

My Portrait Drawing for this project

Where did you get your paint palette?

Hi where does he share the colors of his palette and some why he uses them? Thanks.

I was in this Composition Class, it is so helpful to see these steps and how it all works together. It would be great Marshall to see more of a path through each step..

Marshall said he loves Elizabeth Gilbert's Book on Creativity. I read and loved that book too...How have they experienced creative inspiration?

Can Marshall post a link on his website to the GreatCoursesPlus thing?

Greg from Marshall's Composition and Bridgman classes....I heard Marshall say he loves Elizabeth Gilbert book on Creativity. I too read that book several years ago and love it. I was wondering which is his favorite story AND how have you two experienced creative hits/inspirations?

Stan, the 1100 You lose each week. Aren’t those just the follow bots you were talking about being dropped?

Thanks for switching up the music! ;)

What about book report regarding "The Art Spirit" by Robert Henri.

Great talk...My friend Brian Stelfreeze, you may know him, told me to do the same contrast study of JSS art. Don't need to be told a third time... Another great book on this is The Yin/Yang of Painting by H. Zhang. I will assume @Marshall Vandruff read Bouleau's The Painter's Secret Geometry and would toss it into the harmonics section. So in doing analysis of JSS Sargent's painting I am assuming part of the exercise is training our eye to see the difference in value on a scale of 1-15 is what falls on the side of 7 and what falls in the value of 8. Also, I plan to use an app like "See Value" to check my analysis. Thanks.

@Greg Nott If you're referring to the respective Proko courses, the anatomy course is designed for people who have already done the figure course or have gotten equivalent training somewhere else. So the anatomy one is the more advanced of the two :) That said, if you're just curious about the anatomy course and just want to poke around--I see no harm in that. I haven't gotten to it yet but sometimes I watch videos from it just because I'm curious. But I'm a big anatomy nerd. Some folks would be bored to death :) Hope this helps.

I am in the Bridgman class! It is great!

I must have watched those videos 5 times before joining this group, and I finally actually did the exercise...I drew these as I followed along...since I had watched it so many times...

I have been listening to the podcast since the beginning...great podcast....so it is fun to see Marshall then...it is even more interesting to watch his perspective video back in 1994!

See post in 2 minute section...the same goes for here...Looking forward to moving through the process...
