Phoenix Artist Guild Meetings

    My painting process is always pure and organic with efforts to draw and paint as the old masters did in  their isolated ateliers. I never use any tracing, transferring or projecting when I start to work on a  drawing or painting. I'm also keen to being honest with my process by avoiding any excessive  measuring lines that need to be done using ruler or any precise method to be able and find correct  proportions. Despite some historic assumptions of great-known artists, using these assisting methods  to complete some well-famed masterpieces, I find these overly "engineering" processes to be boring,  easy ways out of the artistic spirit, struggles and challenges artists must face in the eve of their  forthcoming fantastic painting. These methods are no different than some famed artists funding  young assistants to draw and paint, prior to the master touching up some "divinity", finalizing and  signing, while the outwards painters’ stewards are confined to being told or recognized.
