omg i love this oneeee! so much resonated with me in terms of your thoughts at the atelier. i too marveled at the discipline and distinct energy of the room. thanks for sharing (:
I so beg to differ with the instructor you quoted. Taking cues from Old Masters is a great thing to do, but there are plenty of 20/21st century artists who took those ideas and ran with them. Cold, clinical academic art is the result of too much reverence for the past. I think it’s much better for each artist to find their own solutions/strategies. Kudos for modeling. It takes bravery!
A combination of both is definitely important! No doubt about it! For me with photography the technical side is equally important as the emotional side , the two benefit and complement each other. But having that personal discussion with yourself is where it’s key!
