I agree with you and so would Sargent.
Michael G., I know and concede the point, I just think we here may enjoy deeper understanding and conversation. All knowledge is good and useful. Yet, I have never thought we needed to have human anatomy memorized in order to paint a person. Stuff is stuff, they still have unskilled art students in college attempt, usually in total disaster, to draw the nude human form from life, BEFORE they can do the most basic things, proclaiming that we should all learn to know anatomy! Never mind dozens of basic pre-requisite skills that ought to come first.
We are not expected to be automotive engineers to draw a car nor architects to draw a house, why must we know human anatomy to paint people? Stuff is stuff. Draw well and you can draw all-this is another Sargent idea.
