    Scott Noel was a instructor of mine back in 1990 at UArts. He is the kind of teacher that gets you excited about painting and the craft of it. I still remember the things he taught me. Much of what he was talking about in this video he was saying back in 1990.

    Fascinating to this layman and somewhat counterintuitive–don’t start with detailed drawing and then add “painterliness” atop this, but rather start with almost an impressionistic blobby sense of the whole and let the details slowly work themselves up and out of the murk–in the artist’s description, let the details “disclose” themselves.

    One thing I would have liked to have seen is when he talks about 5 big blocks of color, if you could use lines superimposed on one of the paintings to show.
