I have had the desire to paint and have been battling between which medium to start in. Watercolor or acrylic. I have been a little leary of acrylic because I have seen some really bad acrylic paintings. Then I stumbled upon your web site. Your work is awesome! I will be visiting this site often to glean what I can from your classes. Thank you for making the knowledge of your craft so readily available. Sinceraly, Lary Stucker |

Subject: An Expression of Appreciation
Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2000 13:44:07 EDT From: TheArabor@aol.com Don, I just found your extensive, excellent system of web pages yesterday. I have spend many pleasant hours exploring them. I am amazed at the volume of work you have completed. I have not studied your material enough to have a good feel for the details, but I look forward to spending many more hours studying and enjoying your site. I'm fairly new to painting, but consider myself to be an artist above all else. I started reading color theory by artists a few years ago. It seems to me that some of the best books were written over fifty years ago. At first I thought my color vision was off. The text and printed illustrations just did not agree. I eventually realized that the printing process had a more limited gamet than the pigments the authors used for their original illustrations. Lesson: The printing process places major limits on illustrating color principles to readers. I was also puzzled by many other things that I read that did not agree with my personal studio experience. More recently, I have been reading color science literature in order to perfect my conceptual understanding of color. I have found the color manipulation tools in computer programs such as Photoshop and on the web to be excellent resources for improving my ability to "read color" and develop my intuitive understanding of color. I of course have learned much by playing with pigments in my studio. A few months ago I decided I needed to to write my own book on color that would be true to my studio experience with available paints and consistent with modern color science. I also realized that the Internet and related computer resources offered the most useful resources for effectively communicating and teaching color principles and developing color skills. This decision brought with it a number of new problems and issues, e.g., how to develop a common color calibration of my computer monitor and my "reader's" monitor. It also raised the question of is there anyone out there who would be interested in reading my Internet book on color. Most of the artist's I know, have little interest in computers or technical stuff. The "three primary color theory" seems to meet there conceptual needs for understanding color. Consequently, I'm amazed by your web site. I am very excited by your work and look forward to learning much from your web pages. If you are ever in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I would love to meet you and discuss our common interests. Thanks for your excellent work. Regards, David June 3, 2000 David J.

Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 14:41:00 +1200 From: Gary Molitor <artguy@garymolitor.com> Dear Don, I've seen your name several times in American Artist. I really like your work. Actually it is quite fabulous, but you don't need me to tell you that. Also, I remember seeing your work in Lahina the last time I was there. Recently I got an email from Shirley Johnson from Japan. She is a ROM member of your "Painting on Location" email list and said see saw a posting about Danacolors "CLASSIC" Artist Oils. She requested a color card and price list from me; which I sent her. You may remember, you called here a year ago about our clear liquid laminate; we talked and I sent you some information. Incidently, we now have the Bulldog Ultra in 20 oz. by volume aerosol spray cans; available in gloss, semi gloss and flat/matte for $20 per can...works really great on canvas inkjet prints. I can send you a no-charge sample can if you like. When I sent you the clear coat information, I may have included information on our artist oil line. It has become very popular with the Plein Aire painters here on the mainland, although we have a few customers in Hawaii; Makk Studio, Herb Kane Studio, Bishop Street Press, Steve Kornreich, Betty Hay Freeland and Jennifer Tamashiro. I could not help not being impressed with your Real Color Wheel and the time you took to test all the brand names listed. Of course I didn't see Danacolors, probably because it is not available in retail stores. I also did not see any Gamblin. Have you tried his product? I don't imagine that you have any interest in creating a new color wheel testing any new products but I would like to "make you an offer that you can't refuse". I would like to send you, no charge, a 140ml tube of what ever colors you select from the list below. Our product is not student grade. The pigments are high grade and were selected for their color fastness. With the exception white and cad yellow light all are ground in "white refined linseed oil" They are available in three sizes; quarts, 10.5 oz.(311ml) caulking tubes and 140ml aluminum tubes. We have an artist discount program that provides a 20% discount on order of $100 to $499 and over $500 the discount is 40%. Our mediocre web site is at: <http://www.tricoat.com/danacolors.htm> and if you have time you check out my work at: <http://home.earthlink.net/~artworkz/> And once again, thank you for having such a wonderful web site that provides so much wonderful information and images of you fabulous work.

An excellent description indeed, Congratulations. I would like Permission to use some of the colors that you have on the Color wheel for an explanation, where I am trying to explain French Ultramarine Blue, which is a color that is being used on feathers for atlantic salmon flies. This is not material that I will be using for sale, just an explanation on the color. The material I wish to use a few jpg's of is at http://www./~donjusko/1color.htm I must say the pages you have created are impressive with regards to color explanation. I also like your paintings, but am not in the Painting side of art or collection. The information when I have it ready will eventually end up on the domain salmonflies.com, where I show salmonflies and give instruction on how to tie them. I would also provide a hot link from my page to link to yours and give you credit for the information that I have used. Please advise. sincerely Bryant Freeman |
