I find it's an amazing medium, forgiving and multifaceted, in that one may use washes, much like transparent watercolor, or impasto, achieving lush depth of color and fine details.

I enjoyed looking at the drawings on his blog very much. Made me realize I should put my sketches on my blog too! At present I put a few on Twitter. Please tell me, though, how can you subscribe to the 4ojos.com blog to get updates? There does not seem to be anywhere to subscribe. Many thanks for all the useful information.
