Mary Whyte
“Be a Poet. Not a Journalist”
I had the extreme pleasure of actually taking a class with the fabulous Mary Whyte last week. I had a great time working in watercolor (which I only dabble in) and for first the first time, I did watercolors upright on an easel with life models. I had a blast and learned so much.
I am thinking about her teaching this morning as a prepare to go downstairs and teach Day 2 of my workshop in Spring Hill. "Am I being true to my style?" she asked us. "Are you thinking in shapes, values, color and edges...not inventory?" Beautiful. I am so jazzed.
