Relational vs Sight-size Methods Part I -99

Having been a student of both sight-size and relational painting, Paul gives insights into the reasons for choosing the latter in Talks #99 and 100.

In Response to Lynne M

QUESTION: Talk about the differences between relational and sight-size working. Might it be useful to know sight-size when first getting started? Is there a problem with learning what it's all about. It fails when: A) circumstances don't allow the ideal conditions; B) it inhibits looking at the whole; C) it keeps painter from looking relationally. Is that essentially it?
