Hi, I accidentally discovered Marks videos on Youtube the other night and was deeply inspired to join this great art site. I'm not a professionally trained artist but have always desired to be. Unfortunately it was more difficult to find this kind of training several decades ago and so my only option was to self train with the help of books.
