Dear Charley

Thanks for the response, I know it has been far too long not to bring these resources to light, circumstances did not permit it. I have been working on them for many years. We talked with the publisher yesterday and they said the book will be shipped in about seven days. Tomorrow hopefully we will get our draft work to a website jprovider and shortly after, on line. We will keep you posted. Many thanks Patricia

It is always nice to read good things about a master painter and teacher with whom I had the experience of sharing life.

Coming soon will be an Artist handbook on the Bongart Method. It contains six color prints, b/w photos of Bongart and thirty six illustrations. There are eight chapters on method, technique, values, color, portraiture, landscape, critiques, and equipment.

Humorous anecdotes with questions and answers from students bring the pages alive. This book will give additional insight to the man and his art. It is at press now and should be delivered within the week.

Also we will have the website completed soon. A DVD on his method is also available, and his studio remains at 533 West Rustic Rd, Santa Monica, CA 90402

The Bongart painting came up on the screen and I knew right away whose work it was. I had the chance to meet Sergei several times. I always liked his work, because it was painted with a very broad direct approach. Sincerely,Bob Ragland.

Thanks, raymond. I’ve corrected it, and thanks for the good word about lines and colors.

Thanks, shane.

I agree, there isn’t enough about him on the web. That may change, though, as I’ve seen information about artists on the web increase dramatically in recent years.
