I guess everyone has their opinions on it, personally for me I viewed it as take what you like and discard the rest like the photo ref stuff. I believe he was wording it wrong maybe and was trying to express the notion, like many other artist and illustrators have, not to rely heavy on reference. It is also about "alla prima " painting, which does take place in that moment of time, where one can enjoy the art of painting from what you see in front of you more then what you see in a photo. At least that's how i inferred it, in any case, I guess I'll put it this way, that book open my eyes more ways than one than any of the painting courses I took on the side at Pratt Institute.....truly art school had a 20% benefit for me, most 15 % was non art related. I mostly learned form tutorials and books, blogs, certain professors and peers, but for the most part painting and understanding color and value all came together along with everything else I learned, when i had finally read that book. Maybe you're just more seasoned than I am and knew stuff before you needed to read it.

>Alla Prima 2 is supposed to make up for it

I did hear that before from someone, in any case one day anon, one day hopefully someone will upload it. Pic related is from one of those look inside the book previews that you see on the his store website.
