Camie Davis, one of the co-founders of Jacob Collins' famous schools, Water st Brooklyn and Grand Central Academy will sadly be leaving. Here is her farewell blog entry.
We wish her well in her future school start-up.
"To my students at GCA, you have given me so much, your efforts have fueled my own. Your dedication to the highest level of quality and craftsmanship has deepened my own appreciation for the tradition of Classical Painting. Each of your own moments of success has left me with feelings of great pride. I continue to support all of you and your continued education. I continue also to support the GCA and its incredible faculty, many of whom were students at Water Street with me. I am very sad to leave you but I hope you will all support my chasing my own dreams of a school dedicated to the genre of "Narrative" within Classical Painting.
My warmest wishes to you all and remember......
-Where is my light source
-What direction is the plane facing
-Gradation, gradation, gradation
"One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself"
-Leonardo Da Vinci
-May the form be with you all
