But, I'll be trying again with another instalment. <BR/><BR/>There's something about the viewpoint of the painter in it that is difficult - and it uses various 'framing' devices to construct a good composition - and with a canvas that is actually done literally;<BR/><BR/>Then there are issues about subject matter and what is being left outside: nature/people; peoplenature, nature people<BR/><BR/>Lastly, something much more technical: about perspective, horizons, planes etc.... I've been looking at that yesterday: to construct viewpoints (again) which disorientate, don't provide an easy entry into the painting. <BR/><BR/>Now: the question: is this merely going to produce paintings that are poorly constructed? Probably an empirical question: I need to try it out :)Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998420814250658360.post-2272515685022680532008-10-20T19:56:00.000+01:002008-10-20T19:56:00.000+01:00I am following you so far.

I'm doing some studies of compositions I like which other painters have used, and have come across a few landscapes with no sky or far-distance. They, for me, have been some of the most sucessful landscapes I've looked at recently. Funny that you should be using that format at the moment, and I'm surprised there's not more artists who work that way. I'm looking forward to this project of yours.Yellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975849028363084985noreply@blogger.com
