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

No worries, life happens. Whenever you're ready, the lessons will be here and you can dive back in. Keep nurturing that artistic spark even if it's just in small tid bits for now.
