"About the coming video workshops."
 
What topics do you think should be included in the future workshops, what would you like to learn about? What issues were not covered enough in the previous workshops?

   Dear Mr.Antonov,

The two things that I would like to learn about the most is the dutch shortcut and the so called rubens technique,in which, you complete the painting in one layer and any other shortcuts that you know. I want to learn as many shortcuts as possible so that I can combine them in my own painting technique(Rubens combined ideas from both Italian Painters and the older flemish masters).

Secondly, instead of having a video on grapes and another on flowers, you should make a video discussing the colors and texures of various still life objects(grapes,various flowers,metallic objects,strawberries,bugs,etc.) It isn't necessary to show the imprimatura to dead underlayer stages and technical information because they were already discussed. If you could understand the light and shadow of a face, you could understand light and shadow of a flower or grapes. The textures could also be from different paintings. This would save a lot of time while making the video.

Finally, the videos on the formal portrait and procedures will be good. In the video on how to stretch and prime the canvas you should definitely include flake white priming and how to size raw linen. I am still having doubts about your dry umbra sizing that you mentioned in the other forum because no one does this procedure.
