I'm working on the Notan Master Thumbnails demos, but in the meantime, here's an unnarrated bonus demo I recorded for the project announcement. I figured it's beneficial to watch me go through the motion, even without narration. Narrated demos coming soon.

I don’t know that I’ve learned from many instructors as much as I learn from you. I finally hit my one year art anniversary, though I’ve drawn 10 of those 12 months due to neuro/health issues. :D I dived from nothing straight into the anatomy course - both a horrid and a wonderful idea in the end, as it forced me to face my fears, using this course and Marshall’s lectures. I went from zero to being able to draw bodies even from imagination a little bit. I’m so so grateful to you, you have no idea. Lots of instructors skip over things you cover that help me finally understand stuff I struggle with and I’m so visual in my learning that I need to see you do things to get it. You’re so indispensable, thank you for all you do 🥹 When I realized we would be tackling values too I was so happy.

That s truly inspiring to me, now I want to do more of these...
In the last thumbnail of the demo, I start seeing the subtle difference between values in the painting now. Thank you very much for the demo and the painters that you introduced in this assignment.

As soon as I had a pencil in my fingertips, I forgot to remember that details aren't for this assignment. This demo helped me recall that, thank you!

I got it we have to fill value only in other than specular reflections, than darken those values as w ego ahead.

I was struggling with this exercise today and gave up, because the result looked weird for me. After watching two first thumbnails made for Rembrandt now I see it really should look like that. I only began with too many details, but generally I understood the assignment well. By the way, I've almost fallen asleep watching the first part - the music was so relaxing.

I have always liked notans; something striking about them. And a good learning tool. Thank you for including them, as most schools just hit on them quickly and move on.
Maybe you don't notice, but I have not done much since I signed up with you. This is because life suddenly got in the way, But I enjoy watching snippets here and there, and getting your emails, Good stuff. Thanks so much, and be prosperous and joyful. nancy
