Polperro 20" x 15" (50cm x 38cm)
oil on board
fishermen's cottages around the harbour in Polperro, Cornwall, by
artist
Michael Sanders "Polperro must be one of the most painted venues in
the world, but that never detracts from its allure. This was done as a
demonstration, showing how very few colours are needed to produce a
successful image. I've used water-mixable oils for this, as they are
very user friendly, especially for workshops and classes. A very popular
subject for art society demonstrations". A variation on the
technique is to use the 'lifting out' method, where the image gradually
appears from a dull grey background, which is wiped off to show the
shapes of the buildings. Once seen never forgotten! |
