What Great Teachers Offer Us
On January 7, 2009, when I posted a blog on American Artists website
(www.forums.myamericanartist.com/blogs) asking How Did Teachers HelpYou? a number of artists wrote about the concise instructions, motivating
encouragement, and personal attention they received from high-school, col-lege, and workshop instructors. Many listed the specific pieces of advice thatremain fixed in their memories since they first studied drawing and painting.
Those reader comments encouraged us to sift through past issues of
American Artist, Workshop, and Drawingmagazines to identify articles on
some of the best teachers in the country. We made an effort to select a rangeof subjects, styles of expression, and pedagogical methods so that you can use
this Highlights magazine to further your own art education.Some of the featured instructors are prepared to help you tackle the chal-
lenges of painting portraits, whereas others focus on capturing posed models
with accuracy and expression. Nelson Shanks (page 16) and Dawn Whitelaw(page 44) are two distinguished teachers who are adept at presenting the
human figure alone or in the context of a rich and elaborate setting.Many artists have come to enjoy the pleasures and challenges of painting
landscapes, and several of the teachers featured here are experts on selectingmaterials, planning the sequential development of a painting, and bringing
their own points of view to the resulting pictures. William Hook(page 74)deals specifically with the use of acrylic paints in the studio and on location;
and Matt Smith (page 30) discusses ways of using oil colors to capture thelight, atmosphere, and seasonal markings in nature.
Several instructors continue the grand tradition of painting still life
arrangements of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and other objects. John PhillipOsborne (page 112) explains how to premix your palette of colors and work
under a cool north light, and John Morra (page 106) follows a classicalapproach to painting unusual collections of antiques, bricks, and industrialequipment.
If there are other great teachers you would like to read about or introduceto other artists, be sure to join the community of practicing artists who are
receiving the American Artiste-newsletters and posting comments in theforums section of the magazines website (www.forums
.myamericanartist.com).
