I&#39;m sending all my students to this site for them to check out this incredible draftsman. He&#39;s been one of my favorites since I first become aware of him close to 20 years ago. And one of my other favorites is none other than Guercino, a show of whom I was fortunate to have seen at the Kimball back in the &#39;90&#39;s. I&#39;m looking to forward to seeing that posting!G Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03142047268058446778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19047760.post-22571764183501925212009-04-01T09:24:00.000-05:002009-04-01T09:24:00.000-05:00I'm always happy when artists visit my worthless blog!<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should start a big website for figure drawing - except that I've already got too many ways to waste time.<BR/><BR/>My next project will be the drawings of "The Squinter" - Il Guercino.chris millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09575033275184403015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19047760.post-86184734610017449552009-04-01T04:28:00.000-05:002009-04-01T04:28:00.000-05:00Good selection here Chris.
