Got to tell you about Richard Robinson, I have followed him for a number of years now and have seen his work get better and better, and he is not afraid to show you how he paint's, his video tutorials are the best around he leaves nothing out. See his site here A really nice person and becoming a great painter, who am I to say that? well although my painting skills leave a lot to be desired my knowledge of art in general is good and my visual appreciation is second to none(my opinion)
