The Devil's in the Details

Several people have, in the past, asked to see details of paintings, in order, I suppose, to trace the brush marks. Below I show four of the recent 8" x 12" (20x30cm) plein air studies, each followed by a detail. I hope they're interesting.












No matter how much I de-saturate the blue and the cyan in the photos of the last painting, they appear on my monitor as too blue. Who knows how it looks on yours?

Do remember that these are studies, often with rough brushwork and with little 'finish'. I'm more interested in the immediacy of the scene than with polish.

  1. Thanks Donald. Yes it is always interesting to see the detailled closeups, both for the brushwork and to see the level of transparency and underpainting reading through the brushstrokes.
