MCAD Alumni Patrick King ’76 recently did an interview with the Art Students League of New York, where he’s recently begun teaching. The questions explore his early artistic spark and what he’s learned over the course of his artistic career.

King notes that when he uses sketch books, he often goes back to the ones he kept earlier in his career at art school, saying that it transports him back to that time when he primarily did sketches in the field. As a watercolor artist, he also adds that he hopes his watercolor works give the medium the recognition and seriousness within the art world that other mediums like oil paint have.
