Teague had relatively few assignments for Collier’s between 1934 and the first part of 1936.  Illustrations continued to be printed in black and white and, most likely, were painted that way.  During this period, Teague began to settle into his mature style as a watercolorist.  Illustrations take on a more realistic quality, with great attention paid to getting shadows and clothing folds just right.  Most likely, Teague began to photograph live models during this period to assist in generating the realistic end product that he wanted.  Below is a representative sample of illustrations for Collier’s from this period.  Story text has been omitted for a cleaner appearance.
