I have to act under the assumption that a lot of people reading the blog are going to be best served by assuming they are coming in without much prior experience. . I am out to present everything I know, so I end up being pretty basic. Still the "V":s are a refinement on the basic negative shape idea.<br />.................StapeStapleton Kearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226409516935208164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-19619484531775169752010-01-26T20:03:51.614-05:002010-01-26T20:03:51.614-05:00Philip:

The Hudson River School painters had a wonderful touch with their etherial pencil drawings of trees. <br /><br />Also liked the comment about hopping back and forth between painting positive forms and negative shapes when doing trees. I'm convinced that is the only way to get the sky and the solid tree to start talking to each other. The great Jacob Ruisdael landscape you posted yesterday was a good example of just this approach, though it is so detailed it isn't as obvious at first glance as a more modern painter. Still the principle remains a good one, used for centuries by the sharpest painters.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-43267701107218118052010-01-25T21:28:13.946-05:002010-01-25T21:28:13.946-05:00bill:
