John Sargent is one of those figures in art history that was and is recognized as a premier talent. Perhaps the greatest portrait artist of all time, he was humble and modest with others, somewhat aloof but intensely interesting. He spoke several languages and played the piano like a champ, William Merritt Chase could testify to his brilliance in that area. But his talent was farreaching, he was a prolific watercolorist as was his mother. This presentation shares insights into his watercolor technique and its relation to Oils.
