"I Teach What I Want to Learn"

The first time I heard that expression, it resonated with me.
I enjoy teaching new approaches that I've never taught before,

and my last class was willing and able to try anything!    

After a quick review of the many new approaches to painting the figure
we've covered over the six weeks,

we did an old favorite
and painted the figure upside down.

To me, this is one of the best ways to 

see the big shapes and let go of detail. 

So, as much as I love experimenting and growing as an artist,

I equally love sharing ideas and exploring as a teacher.

"I teach what I want to learn!"

Have a great rest-of-the-summer!
