Dan follows the advice of his favorite mentor, Sergei Bongart as well as Diane McClary with profound idioms such as: 'Only draw what the eye sees, not what the mind tells you', 'First, you must paint dog, then you paint fleas.' also, 'Anyone can be a good artist, but first you must learn to see not just look.' Follow this advice and you can also be a good artist.
