"At the end of my first year I duly passed into the Upper School. There was no more drawing from the antique: it was painting, painting all the time, with a visiting Royal Academician to teach us. Some of this teaching was good and some quite the reverse. Marcus Stone, for instance, would lay down the law, discoursing on 'a sense of fatty sweetness' which was quite in keeping with the subjects of his pictures. G.H. Boughton, who favoured Dutch scenes of the seventeenth century – fancy-costumed figures skating – would seize my favourite brush and grind it on to the canvas so that it spread out fanwise, and then tell me to go ahead. We had Seymour Lucas and Arthur Hacker and several others. Solomon J. Solomon was an infrequent visitor, but he did teach us something."

"It was quite different when [John Singer] Sargent was the Visitor. He was dynamic. Bursting with energy and enthusiasm, he inspired us all. Everyone tried to paint as he did. On one occasion he seized palette and brushes from a student and got to work himself. The painting remained untouched after he had left and was taken home by the lucky student, though several of us tried to bribe him to part with it. George Clausen was quite as popular as Sargent, though of a different temperament. A rather shy, quiet man, almost diffident in his criticisms, he was a most excellent teacher besides being a distinguished painter."
