Tante Til of the Knots family is always a favorite of mine to reference when teaching painting. Together with Willem de Kooning, Marlene Dumas, and a score of others, I'll show a clip of her in her studio. The nice about it is that the language is Dutch, so I can translate the words Hetty Heyting speaks in any fashion I deem appropriate for the moment and whatever it is in painting I'd like to communicate.
