Checking out where to start.
I have recently subscribed to The Virtual Instructor and I am impressed with how organized and how well you present the Information to teach your students.
Buying art supplies can be a confusing thing for students as there are many brands to choose from and qualities within a brand. Trying to work with supplies that aren’t adequate is very frustrating.
Could you create a recommended list of supplies to purchase that lists the Company and the exact line of the item in particular to purchase. I think that would be a great help to beginners like myself.
👍
Very informative, thanks Matt.
Just joined and I am excited about the things that I will learn. I agree with the previous comments about your organization and delivery. Top notch.
Thank you
Thanks Eric!
How do you sharpen a blending stump? And properly clean it? Thank you!
All the info I’ve found online about cleaning a blending stump says cut it with a knife or scrape it on sandpaper. Neither works well for me. Cutting with a knife ends up leaving a soft spot at the top that seems impossible to eliminate and no sharp point like they have when new. Scraping on sandpaper is a disaster, it just leaves the stump as a fuzzy mess.
Any ideas on how to do this and get back the nice sharp point for detail work? thank you!
Do you think a drafting brush is necessary.?
I was looking for a smooth tooth paper similar to hot press wc paper, but less expensive for practice sketches. I ordered 100% bamboo cold press paper (JUVALE) sold on Amazon. Have you ever tried this paper? I’m able to get a full range of tones and seems to blend very well.
Just signed up for this course & I am enjoying it! I love your style of teaching.
