9、演出。所有的人都非常投入，动态与神态的精彩刻画烘托了热烈的气氛。连光滑的旧木地板都画的这么好，远近的空间感表现得很充分。注意一下女孩子的脚，他是有意画的如此虚的。以表现脚的动感。

15、羊和小孩。这幅农家孩子的画，画的非常生动活泼。构图上，通过羊与孩子手的配合，使画面组成了一个圈子。一种其乐融融的气氛就出来了。画面上羊和女孩子比较亮，其它部分暗，突出了主题。左下方椅子上的白娃娃是为了与右边女孩起呼应作用的。如果没有那一点白的，构图上就会失去均衡。再看那只羊，不但是造型正确生动，笔触也用的很好，把羊毛的质感表现得十分精彩。

17、威特肯（William Whitaker）自述 Notes and Personal Stuff
I talked my good buddy, Sandra Phillips, into marrying me about sixteen years ago. We live in a pretty good house on the beach of ancient Lake Bonneville overlooking Utah Valley. Sandra paints watercolors in an upstairs studio. I have a studio behind the house that functions nicely. Adrian Gottlieb called it, "The most awesome a studio can get without actually being Frederick Leighton's studio"
We have paints, brushes, books, props, easels, crates, paper, canvas, pencils, solvents, costumes, computers and banjos everywhere.
We are fixated on art. We are boring company.
画家介绍：
威廉 · 威特肯（William Whitaker），他父亲是艺术家，是家里唯一的儿子，在艺术家庭的氛围中长大。他从小学习绘画，早期记忆中最深刻的是艺术工作室。他的童年和青年的艺术世界是美好的。他认为画的价值是找到其精神的力量……
The only son of an artist father, William Whitaker grew up in the special world of the working artist. He had access to the finest art materials and was painting in watercolor and oil at the age of six. His fondest early memories are of the sights sounds and smells of the art studio.
The art world of his childhood and youth was the brave new world of abstract expressionism and until he was well out of college his natural inclination to draw accurately and his love for traditional realism was a source of inner conflict. Nevertheless he was fortunate, starting at age 17, to receive a thorough grounding in academic figure drawing and painting from the portrait painter Alvin Gittins at the University of Utah, and after exploring other styles he followed his heart into traditional art.
Whitaker loves to paint from life in an old fashioned studio. No matter what direction his art takes him, he always comes back to the model in the studio, the form bathed in the beautiful quiet cool light coming down from a high north window. He refers to this kind of seeing and painting as the Old Testament of art and feels there is enough magic to engage him there for the rest of his life.
He believes the value of painting is to be found in its spiritual power. Having been told all his life that the kind of painting he enjoys is dead, he takes quiet comfort in lovingly attempting to capture something the camera cannot see. He is also delighted that there are so many wonderfully talented young artists who are not bound or inhibited by contemporary art world conventions and who are out to paint beautifully crafted pictures without apology.
He has been a professional artist since 1965, during which time he has conducted workshops and been a university art professor. He continues to work with one or two advanced student artists for fun. He paints about three or four hours every day ands spends the rest of the time trying not to ruin any good work he's done
