Incredible presentation. Thank you! You are an amazing and generous teacher. I will be looking for your videos.

Sadie thank you for doing this lecture and for posting it. You are a gifted and generous teacher and we are all lucky to be able to benefit from your hard-won skills developed over thousands of hours of hard work, study, and reflection. You are a living master and I hope I can take your classes again someday.

When I attended the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD) in the mid '70s there were a number of hyper masculine instructors who taught in the Fine Art department. At that time Bouguereau was considered a dirty word (I heard them pronounce it 'bugg-er-all Ha ha ha!) They would generally bypass artists like him and Leighton and refer to Ingres as the great hero of figure drawing. However the training was quite rigorous in it's way, the models superb and the instructors attentive as to corrections. At the same time I was apprenticed to a portrait artist in the academic tradition and was in close contact with great academics such as Archibald Barnes R.C.A and the controversial Kenneth Forbes (Does anyone remember his book "Great Art and the Grotesque"?) This training helped to balance the prevelant view and supplement certain gaps in my knowledge of techniques, notably those present in oil painting.

Wonderful presentation. I studied with Sadie online and it was good to review many things she teaches and also to learn new things that complement a classical art education. Can’t wait to experiment with the quinacridone red + chromium oxide green for my chromatic neutral. In the course we were still using ultramarine blue and burnt umber plus white for our neutral scale.

I’ve must finish watching this video later... 🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

wish i was there

It is incredidible to see the negligence and dismissive behaviour of art schools against students in this modern era, It is outrageous that the traditional masters of classical drawing and painting and the vast store of knowledge therein are being ignored by art schools and kept out of the reach of their students.

I wonder if it is not common knowledge that William Adolphe Bouguereau really opened the door for women artists in Europe and abroad. Do you think Picasso and Van Gogh held ant such considerations?

Any $M+ , dollar female artist ?

What an absolutely pathetic opening statement. Is she really suggesting that artists moved away from realism because women started to paint?! Haha haha! There are so many examples of famous artists painting alongside women. My god, feminists are now rewriting history in order to continue to play the victim. How pathetic. How self centered. As if the tide of history shifted because women want to paint. I am a man. I paint realism. I have never once steered from it because of women. On the contrary, I have looked for a female life partner that is a realist painter. Feminists are nuts.

unfortunately these things always get a pass though. pseudo-history at its finest.

Boring gender politics.

honestly its only at the beginning. There's some interesting stuff in there once you get past her theories about women and art.
