Why is my mail bouncing back from your address mail@myamericanartist.com?

Dear Mr.Thompson,
have many thanks for this very helpful and clear demonstration.
I wish could be in L.A. to see and follow your classes.

sincerely yours

Rolf Rafflewski, Paris-France

well done. Thanks for sharing your hard earned tallent with us.

Beautiful!

really impressive congrats

I was just woundering if you ever paint without reference. I never have a problem with painting from life but when it comes to doing something that i don't have reference for the colours don't work together.Is there any way around this problem. How would you approach the painting.

Please send feed to my e-mail Thank you Linda

Thank you so much for the wonderful demo. It was inspiring to see the development of the portrait & to see it come alive.

Dan,
I'm a student at Lyme Academy and was hoping to learn from you, it is still my hope that you will come to help us here. Please concider reapplying for future openings. The world is full of talent, each of us unique, you have a lot to offer the students.

Really liked watching the artist's thinking process on the portrait. Would like to see a list of the palette colors he used on the website somehow or can he forward the list to my e-mail? Dan may be a man of few words but his brush strokes say a lot, great demo! Thanks.

Cannot get Part Two of the video to load.

Have the video now but no audio. He is just painting in a small square with static noise and a whistling in background.

Thank you American Arist for hosting Dan's demo. It's great to see the progresson of colors on the form. We are privlidged to be hosting Dan here in the San Franciscon Bay Area at the BACAA studios in Belmont California.

Hi Dan,

Your comment regarding the color key and finding the five big notes has clicked into place another piece of the puzzle re: colorist theory and has helped me coalesce the information I have received on this subject from various sources. I really wish you would come to Toronto and PAINT! Thanks for the online demo!!

the visual demo is excellent. however i cannot get any audio, can this be remedied. the visual was certainly strong enough, but a few words would no doubt be helpful. dan has so may important things to say.

Hi Dan,
as Bob Silverman I cannot get any audio... but the visual demo is great. I´m a student at the Escola de Belas Artes (Academy of Beaux Arts) in Rio de Janeiro - Brasil and my dream is to learn from you, here in Rio! Have you ever think about coming to Rio for a workshop... what about considering this to the happiness of the brazilian students?!? obrigada/thanks
