Ruskin and Wild Roses
John Ruskin gave challenging advice to young artists.
Wild roses, gouache over casein, 5 x 8 inches |
I take that advice to mean willfully discarding the idea of improving on nature, and translating what I see into paint as faithfully as possible.
I soon discover that painting every detail is impossible. As Ruskin points out, individual leaves can rarely be seen apart from the others, given all the overlapping and cast shadows. Plus, there are tens of thousands of tiny forms, and those forms morph from moment to moment, and from day to day. (I spend four consecutive mornings on the painting).
The making of this painting is the main segment of my new video, "Flower Painting in the Wild." Customer Biff says:
“I think this is the best 'in the wild' video yet. Great demonstration of lost and found edges, painting negative space, keeping your place through a complex scene, dealing with plein-air distractions, excellent close-up views of superb brush work, emphasis when depicting reflections, glazing with gouache (and casein) and even how to make friends with green. Great Stuff!!”
