Gordon McCouch studied with Howard Pyle in 1902 and 1903. He had learned about Pyle from his Chestnut Hill Academy drawing teacher, James E. McBurney, another Pyle student. McCouch later remembered his Wilmington and Chadds Ford days as "hard work." His studies there ended abruptly on the day that McCouch drew a fly on his paper. When Pyle came to look at his student's progress, he tried to brush the fly away. After the second try, Pyle realized his mistake. His injured pride led him to dismiss McCouch from the school.
