I attended in the late '80's, before CG was a factor in film making. I wish that Chris Payne had been there back then; his work is amazing! And how we would have loved to have had a lecturer like you! It was a great education regardless. I would highly recommend CCAD to any aspiring illustrator, animator or designer.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the trip down memory lane!Jennifer G.

Thanks for the nice words. <BR/><BR/>Eric, the only reason I wasn't nervous or intimidated was that everyone was very understanding and patient with my efforts. I didn't get a very good likeness because I rushed the layin a bit. Chris P. was an incredibly nice host and very down-to-earth. <BR/><BR/>Daroo, the Derwent sketchbook is a very smooth white drawing paper. It is quite heavy weight and will take washes pretty well. As Joe pointed out earlier, the Moleskine drawing books are an off-white yellowish ivory tone, and there's some surface that makes washes bead up.<BR/><BR/>Yes, we did make it to the Butler Museum in Youngstown. Besides their great permanent collection we were impressed by a special Andrew Wyeth show, plus a lot of fine head studies of Native Americans by Elber Burbank.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-55643152630013842692009-04-09T21:27:00.000-04:002009-04-09T21:27:00.000-04:00wow, one of your best portraits yet! i dont know ...wow, one of your best portraits yet! i dont know how you do it. making a portrait of a great artist while being infront of a class full of proably a lot of other really good young artists. i would be so intimidated by the entire situation i wouldnt be able to function....the force is strong with you mr gurney....Super Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464419328369980879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-2199436316707306622009-04-09T18:11:00.000-04:002009-04-09T18:11:00.000-04:00My School too. back in the 90's:)Payne had a cours...My School too. back in the 90's:)<BR/>Payne had a course you could take there while I attended.

(If I'm drawing well I can't string two words together verbally -- must be some corpus callosum deficiency.)<BR/><BR/>And speaking of drawing well, I assumed you just picked the most choice drawings from your sketchbook to post on the blog -- but I was amazed as you flipped through the sketchbook -- page after page of well observed gems (the pages even had their own inherently interesting layout design)!<BR/><BR/>The Derwent sketchbook is not a watercolor book correct? The pages didn't seem to buckle so it must be heavier stock? <BR/><BR/>Did you ever get to stop by the Butler in Youngstown?Daroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269629297022511462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-70297881238156240412009-04-09T17:04:00.000-04:002009-04-09T17:04:00.000-04:00Just saw the Obama portrait.If C.F.

Payne would happen to read this blog, I have a question for him.<BR/><BR/>So, the art director for Time magazine called you to ask you if you could do the Obama portrait. As this happened, you were sitting outdoors enjoying a cup of coffee in the gentle winter sun.<BR/>After the conversation you put down the phone and calmly picked up your cup of coffee again. In a tree nearby a winter bird was singing his song.<BR/><BR/>My question. Did the coffee tremble a bit?Erik Bongershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409523352634066030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29273054354925148552009-04-09T16:54:00.000-04:002009-04-09T16:54:00.000-04:00Funny.

I have a picture of him in an issue of <A HREF="http://www.illo.us/th2.html" REL="nofollow">Illustration'05</A>.<BR/><BR/>I bought that issue solely for the article on Payne, of whom I'd never heard before.<BR/>I still frequently look at his portrait of Andrew Wyeth that is printed full page in the magazine.
