I only teach basics and all the artists move along at their own speed. I have no slackers. They all work harder than I do!
I find too that everyone makes the most rapid progress if I break the training down into basic components.
Here is Emily at the easel, painting a dinner roll. After months of intense copy drawing, there is nothing to drawing a dinner roll! Therefore she can concentrate on brush technique, edge quality, color and value.
She is working in the same natural light conditions perfected over 350 years ago by our heroes. Nothing is better.
I stress good habits. She is working on her feet, using a light touch, and doing the painter's dance - even when her sitter is a dinner roll!
