I'm a student at an atelier, still in the b&w phase of training. Color has to wait until value is mastered. But I have to say I loved your suggestion in an earlier post on hats (6Feb) regarding quick sketch from TV images and using the pause button to flush out details. A great little suggestion for source material. Thanks for your thoughtful content. Regards.Candace X.
