Entries
One cause, one consequence, each
- 01
Painting on the spot
Working in front of the subject in one sitting changes handling, because the light moves and the paint has to keep up.
- 02
The portable easel
Box easels, panel carriers and the practical limit on how big a picture you can carry home wet.
- 03
Weather as a constraint
Wind, wet and cold as working conditions rather than subject matter.
Standing distance is part of the work: a canvas sized to the wall asks the body to move back until the picture resolves.
