More than one way to skin a cat, indeed.<br /><br />I have read these design analysis every morning over and over hoping to get that body of analysis in a skill set that I can transfer to my paintings and observation.<br /><br />On the red accents that Gruppe places; seems to me that he is also using the use of color accent to move your eye around the painting much as his placement of objects and design.<br /><br />For instance, in the harbor scene where the eye could easily be held in the dark left corner because of the strong and commanding shapes..that little dash of warm reddish hue bring the eye back to the Zig Zag and to the back of the painting.<br /><br />In the next Gruppe (the houses and barns), the "reds" are placed on two crossing diagonals, like an X which bring your eye back to the center, much like his design placement does. Anyway, my point being that it seems to me that Gruppe uses placement of color as part of his overall painting design.mariandioguardi.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963944767715466681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-68539367792595048652010-02-18T23:36:43.857-05:002010-02-18T23:36:43.857-05:00Hi Stape

The pictures look so good one is likely to forget the underlying structure that makes the beauty possible.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641223414745777056noreply@blogger.com
