Vianna,

On the subject of developing a visual memory here is what Robert Henri proposes to try out:

Quote:
...I have often thought of an art school where the model might hold the pose in one room and the work might be done in another. The pupils would have their places in both rooms, one for observation and the other for work. The pupil would return to the model for information. In getting the information he would view the model from his place or could walk about and get an all-around concept; he could also make any sketches he might desire to make-for information-but these drawings are not to be carried into the work room. Into this room he only carries what he knows.
