By the time he was a young man, his father wanted him to be a businessman like he was. But, Frederic was determined to be an artist, so his father arranged for him hm to study art with Thomas Cole. Thomas Cole was a very famous artist who lived in Catskill, NY. Frederic lived and studied in Catskill for almost two years.
The first thing Frederic learned was to observe nature carefully so he could represent accurate details in his art. Frederic learned to make pencil or ink sketches of lakes, flowers, farm buildings, stumps of trees, cows, horses, a cliff or mountain, a sunset or sunrise. He would make notes on his sketches to remind him of colors, light and what the scene looked like. He’d use these sketches to give him ideas later when he painted his large oil paintings. Thomas Cole said Frederic had “the finest eye for drawing in the world.”
