It's been a long while since I saw this series but I was knocked out by it then and impressed even more this time around. You referred to Kossin's use of large masses of dark shapes. Keeping detail and contrast within the dark shapes to a minimum made his important light areas ( such as those near heads) all the more effective. His use of dark holding essential light is masterful. His drawing is great, including the expressions, both body and facial. And, the textures are still gorgeous.<BR/>thanks again.<BR/>Barbaraleifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.com
