The farm...Thanks for an inspiring workshop, Stape! The farmland scenery was enticing to paint, although challenging with the changing light. The finale was the holy ground by the Lieutenant R. Thanks also for that informative walk and talk revolving about the Metcalf paintings! I'm also impressed to see you were able to meet another blog deadline after giving of your energy and enthusiastic teaching all day! I would indeed have felt like Savanorola on the rack -- but I'm older than you. I'm trying more of that technique you exposed us to on Sunday. Incidentally, Bernard Dunstan's book on Impressionist Techniques emphasizes what you mentioned about the difference between Seurat's post-impressionist dots and true impressionist brush handling.

There is an excellent book called Corot in Italy for those interested in not only what he did there but the very established practice in the 1820's of aspiring history painters to go to Italy to paint plein air for a few years before returning to Paris to submit to the Salon- sort of like graduate work.<br /><br />My favorite Corot quote:<br /><br />"I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven"Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-32128834500772618372010-09-19T08:21:14.019-04:002010-09-19T08:21:14.019-04:00One of your better posts.

What gorgeous ...Thank you for this inspiring post. <br />What gorgeous paintings.<br /><br />In great art the subject matter comes from inside the artist, with the exterior world a catalyst. <br /><br />You've used the word "install" which is such a great word for the artist's choices, both technical and poetic.<br /><br />Glad to hear Corot was such a nice guy!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862300369187414150noreply@blogger.com
