I have had trouble with the rice technique and this illustration of how to bring it together - with the white space - will eliminate a bit of the "muddy" I occasionally get. Pick a color, pick a tone, apply distinctly, move on.

Yesterday morning I was looking at a painting by NC Wyeth called Harveys Run circa 1912. It's quite different from a lot of his better known works not only in style, but in manufacture. No big bold patches of color, it's quieter, lacier, almost fragile. I looked at a lot of the brushwork some strokes are very tiny, rice like. It's not a small painting. Must have taken forever. Last evening I was considering how he went about making made it, and then tuned into your post. Seems like this method :]MCGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829336755724862105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-79836051025744238052011-04-02T20:22:08.562-04:002011-04-02T20:22:08.562-04:00it is wonderful to see this process especially for...it is wonderful to see this process especially for landscapes. i have often tried landscapes but get lost in corners of the painting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-41886410981068282522011-04-02T14:04:31.031-04:002011-04-02T14:04:31.031-04:00I love it Stape, reminds me of Berthe Morisot.I love it Stape, reminds me of Berthe Morisot.Love2painthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527571963036683034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-14963317156500302102011-04-02T11:55:45.828-04:002011-04-02T11:55:45.828-04:00Thanks for posting this step by step .

Just like pissarro in his transition with early impressionism and neo-impressionism. Not many painter paint like that today especially at your level. It is such treat! This is a making of great impressionist art. <br />Thanks Stape!Antonin Passemardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13201960897907738589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-88171138052906356772011-04-02T10:57:49.417-04:002011-04-02T10:57:49.417-04:00I love that your brush strokes were so consistent ...I love that your brush strokes were so consistent throughout the painting.
