“I’m a 65 year old guy who can’t draw a straight line. Since retiring from medical practice 2 years ago I’ve been trying to learn bookbinding and paper marbling. These have been from books and excellent YouTube videos and for paper marbling from in-person classes at San Francisco Center for the book. In addition, I’ve wanted to make some artist’s books and to do that I need some background and whatever skills I can grow in drawing, watercolor, painting and lithographs. But I have to learn to draw.
I have been doing this by in-person classes (two, Covid intervened) then on-line via my art teacher, and then YouTube discovering Proko. I’ve purchased three of the Loomis books recommended by Stan and my art teacher and listening to this most excellent Podcast while binding books.
I’m never going to be a professional artist. But I would eventually like to develop some skill that I would be satisfied with enough to share with friends and family. This Podcast is excellent for those wishing to develop into professional artists. But is also superb for those of us who simply wish to develop a satisfying skill. Please keep it up guys, I’m grateful.”
