I found this quote relating to Barbara Gomar, later Barbara Gomar Stone: "My own formative training in drawing came from a masterful draftswoman called Barbara Gomar Stone at Newcastle Polytechnic in the early 1980s. She was near retirement age at that time, and had spent part of her long career as a fashion illustrator in the 1950s ? all that fabulous rapid pencil and ink stuff, economical and stylish. Over four years of weekly classes, she imparted some of her elegant precision to us her students, a treasure which I endeavour to pass on to others. Being able to capture a subject with speed and precision is a valuable skill to acquire; exercising this discipline actually helps you to see more efficiently and improves your approach to more meticulous techniques."
