Tonight was my last class in this session of teaching Drawing 101 at the Gallery. And today was my last class teaching oil painting as the Artist in Residence at the Gardiner School. It's been a busy Spring! AND it was a lot of fun. I absolutely love seeing all those 'light bulbs' come on! I saw A LOT of improvement throughout the classes and that's always really rewarding. Teaching certainly keeps me 'on my toes'. I was discussing the Hudson River School painters and the Impressionist movement along with the importance of edges in oil painting during the day, and then I introduced John Singer Sargent portrait sketches this evening and had everyone try some tonal drawings. It was a good, full day.
