Note: Around 1919, John Whorf traveled to France while on an extended trip abroad. In Paris, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, Académie de la Grande Chaumière, and Académie Colarossi, and it was during this time that Whorf began using watercolor as his primary medium. He later returned to France with his wife, Vivienne Wing, on their honeymoon.
