That's the type of artists' tricks he used to show us kids how to do. I'm amazed I even remembered that just now!)
Abso....bleeping...lutely !!!!!............and I haven't heard the name Jon Nagy, in all those years since !!
I learn well, the things I hear, as opposed to things I read, or see. I wouldn't have been able to properly identify it to that source, but that is where I learned a lot of what I know now.

When in doubt, google it.......Mar 10, 1981 ... John Gnagy, a painter who gave drawing lessons on NBC-TV and CBS-TV from the late 1940's to the mid-1950's, died Saturday at his home in ........ that was thirty years ago !!

Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
