Artist's Comments

14"x18" Oil on canvas


Its from a picture of some buildings in europe.

It took about 7 hours, I might add some more small detail fixes later. This is my first attempt at painting buildings before. I hope you like it

I think many painters work from photos.
I have always cringed
when artists
set up their easels on, say, the beach,
and then must paint with a crowd of onlookers
looking over their shoulders.
The ability to concentrate must be greatly impeded.

On the other hand,
when painting from a photo,
the artist misses the sounds,
the smells, the weather—
these other factors which
(could / should) contribute to the final image.

The texture here is what
puts this image over the top for me.
Is that done with a palette knife :?
I think when you are trying
to bring out the texture of a painting
in a photo,
you can experiment with lighting angles
as each angle can emphasize the texture differently.

This painting has a very different feel from your other work :) Love the texture on this.
