Hi ! Emily: Turner Painting Technique

The use of light and color by Friedrich contributed to the calm and peaceful mood which is created. The main source of light in this painting comes from below the man and the rocks he is standing on. There is no visible sun in the sky and it is most likely behind the clouds. The light from below the rock illuminates the air around the man, directing your focus to him and his calm stance. The fact that the main light source from the painting is below him could represent the man's past and how he is reflecting on it while he is standing here looking out at the landscape. There is very little darkness in the painting, and this contributes to the peace of the painting because everything has the same level of light. It shows a sense of evenness and calmness in the landscape. This evenness is also displayed through the colors

Nolan’s painting style is noted for its fluidity, which he emphasized by applying unusual mediums—such as ripolin (an enamel house paint) and polyvinyl acetate—to masonite, glass, paper, or canvas.

The uses of actual and visual texture manifest themselves throughout the painting. Actual texture can be found in the thick wooded area in the right of the painting where the top of the woodland canopy is painted in thick brushstrokes. It is also apparent in the sea, where thick, short brushstrokes give the illusion of movement and variations in height of the waves. Although rather elementary, visual texture can be found in the tree in the foreground, where thin, white and black lines give the appearance of volume to the bark of the tree.

The bright white color ties in with the part of the art piece Turner wanted the viewer to focus on, in other words where he wanted to create emphasis. The storm has different shades of dark colors with a tint of a pale white color while the ship appears to be a bright

We can also see the use of black shades to create a hole at the bottom part of the rock. With his excellent use of colors, we can identify the good, healthy and green grass from the bad, unhealthy, brown grasses. Looking beyond the main focus of the painting, he uses colors to separate the sky from the land in the background creating a solid form of perspective on the painting. He also uses colors to create water forms as seen behind the young character. Now, for the sky, he uses shades of white to magnificently differentiate the thick clouds from the light ones. He also uses this to create a source to light to the whole area. All these put together creates a splendid, realistic and familiar atmosphere for the viewers to relate with.

In brief, this painting is 2-dimensional art.He used the clouds to make it really look like it was shading the crops, hay, grass, and the sky which is exquisite. It was made with water soluble paint which makes it more difficult but most divine that’s rare.The way he made the haystacks look in 2-dimensional was pretty nicely. The crops he painted were even in good paint as they had looked like carrots,corn, and collard greens.

The work is very smooth and fluid making it appear much like a photograph. The oil is not built up on top of itself keeping it very two dimensional. The colors vary between dark and light throughout the painting. In the top right corner, the sun, outside the painting, shining down, aluminates the castle and also the lone tree at the bottom left corner. Besides the back cliff, the rest of the painting is in shadow and displayed in a much more melancholy tone. The colors that Cole focuses on, to display the sharp contrast between rock and nature, are mostly dark greens and gold. The striking blue of the river stands out dramatically from the rest of the colors and draws the eye after the initial citing. The grey in the cloud is the only place where I can find that shade of gray in the work, and it sets itself apart from the snow white clouds in the background. The color helps draw the eye immediately to the castle on the hill. My eyes then fallow the flow of the river down to the tree, which is illuminated by a beam of sunlight.

The death of her mother in 1931 impacted her artwork therefore contributing to the paintings: Poinsettias and Hippeastrums growing which were painted in the same year as her mother’s death. The death of her sister Charlotte (Diddy) greatly impacted Cossington smith.

Cossington Smith had submitted many paintings to the annual exhibitions of the royal Art Society of new south wales from 1915, the society of artists from 1919 and the contemporary group from 1927.

Then he helped us to see the painting as a new project in the Pacific North West. There was not much discovered on the west coast at the time. The painting is very intriguing by its various settings of the landscape. It is a more enjoyable piece to view because how he created the light and dark setting. The form of the mountains, beaches, trees, and water mesh well with light objects in this painting. Sunlight driving in between the dark and land create the feel. This is how the role is played in this

Thomas Gainsborough was an English painter who made the work of art View Near King’s Bromley, on Trent, Staffordshire. Gainsborough mostly did landscapes and portraitures of others, and all had a romantic tone to it. During his era, he was undergoing the romanticism period with his paintings. When you look at this painting you notice different formal elements that he used. The first element is the realism presented in the lake. If you look at it you’ll notice the reflections of the trees and portions of the sky. If you notice in the far background you’ll see that the artist added a touch of haze, which is apparent that he used white light brush strokes (Philadelphia Art Museum). This not only adds to the realism of the painting, but it shows

Coupled with the lights and the trees the two people complete the painting and gives it a center focal point which draws the viewers eye. The colors in the painted

The thin layers of transparent color he used was to mimc the natural glow under daylight, thus bringing the ethereal quality to his paint.

The art of painting dates back to pre-historic times, the finger used as a paintbrush on the canvas of cave walls. When it comes to painting, artists have many mediums to choose from: acrylics, oils, gouache, fresco, and watercolors. Watercolors is one of the toughest mediums to achieve, its transparent streaks almost impossible to cover up and its various techniques prestigous and precise, but satisfying when accomplished. The incentive a watercolor artist has to get a taste of perfecting their talents is impecable; therefore, striving for perfection can only be accomplished with the understanding of the watercolor history, the use of the tools of the trade, the practice of techniques, and observation of former artists’ approaches.

"A picture can paint a thousand words." I found the one picture in my mind that does paint a thousand words and more. It was a couple of weeks ago when I saw this picture in the writing center; the writing center is part of State College. The beautiful colors caught my eye. I was so enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment.
