Henry Yan

Thanks to a fellow artist on Artpapa.com, I found out about Henry Yan, and thank goodness I did. You can check out his website here

I've been trying to find ways to loosen up lately and Yan's method is one I definitely need to try. So far my attempts at drawing on mylar have helped but Yan's method will take me farther. I've always loved a more painterly style of drawing and painting (J.S. Sargent has a big influence on me). I plan on stepping up my figure work this year because I really feel like I've been holding back. 

Good thing Yan put a book together for those of us not lucky enough to take a class with him. It won't be the same but at least it's something. It's available on Amazon for about 30 bucks, not bad. I tried to find it locally (to see if I could do a quick flip through) but no luck yet. I'll let you know when I get it!
