master and student

Juan (aka "kindergarten boy") was in the zone the other day. Of late he has been working more figuratively--people with faces, sunshines, houses, etc. But here's a group that seems to focus on line and color (note, too, that a few of these incorporate his name, a la Robert Ryman). Juan has a distinct skill compared to other children for keeping his color clear and relatively unmixed (could it be the brush washing lessons I give him?)
The question is, in regard to color, who is influencing whom?

I envy you your beautiful sketchbook pages...so often mine are just page after page of ballpoint pen, subtly refining shape: very useful, but not always very beautiful.
