Great painting advice

Mr. Grado passes along the drawing and painting lessons of Frank J. Reilly,who taught at the Art Students League in New York. In the introduction, Mr. Grado says that "many professionals in the art field saw [Reilly's] teachings as too 'mechanical' or 'methodical'". The drawings seem especially stilted; nevertheless the information on painting is invaluable, if a bit "methodical". Personally, I will ignore the drawing advice and file away numerous gems on painting.
