Robert Genn Twice-Weekly Letter
Twice a week I get an informative letter from Robert Genn. Check out
the link to his website. You'll learn a lot. It's like a letter from your
favorite art professor. Here is a bit from his recent letter

Esoterica: Now familiar with my own particular voice and accent, my Dragon app prints out exactly what I speak into my iPad. Twenty years ago this miracle would be unthinkable. You can be assured that painting apps will get better and better. The current clunky line and substandard gradation will be history. Artists may only need to think of something and the app will make a masterpiece. In the meantime, for my buck, the iPad and other devices for painting are useful learning and testing tools. And like that old hog's bristle lying half-dried-up on my palette, those new-fangled gadgets can let you down.

Foggy morning
