RE: Alla prima sketch of and eye (5x7") + video
You probably know about Richard Schmid. If not, you might like to get his book "Alla Prima." I think you will enjoy it.

Thank you for your comment! His book is one of my favorite sources of inspiration and information about oil painting, as well as his videos.
That is so great. Richard has been one of main role models for almost 50 years! LOL We met at a solo exhibition he had in Chicago at Welna Gallery in 1969. His work blew my mind. I was still in art school and it was at that exhibition that I decided that I wanted to paint as a career. We kept in touch once in a while over the years and met again a few times. He even gave me a critique at my own exhibition (we were represented by the same gallery at the time). He has inspired and helped all of my peers - and many others - at one time or another. He's a great man, a legend now. I feel lucky to have known him.
