Thanks for the encouragement everyone.
This is a 11 x 14.
The CPC uses mostly prismacolor, and I had polychromos, so was frustrated as I did not have the right colors. After buying the prismacolor set, I find that I still do not always have the right colors, but I no longer fret about that and choose something close that I have on hand.
The teaching style is like Nolan's, explaining things as you see it being done, but there are many teachers, so style does vary.
After Rainbow Birds I feel the same way I did when I completed the eagle head in graphite. I'm just beginning to get that itch to venture out and do something on my own - ahhh yes, I need to settle down.
In a million years I would never have thought I would be at this level after taking Nolan's class, for whom I will ever be indebted to.
