| Watch for the Spring Plein Air Painting Course starting in March 2001. "There is nothing in landscape so difficult to paint well as tree forms against the sky, except the sky itself. When painting a sky an artist can never lose sight of the limitations of materials; you know how far off white paint is from light, and you are content to obtain some truths of atmosphere. You must make a tree lit by the light of the sky. You would like to show how beautiful it is in every detail but make it grand and effective as a whole. Don't despise yourself if you cannot show the character of its species - this is not your chief objective in painting. from The Artistic Anatomy of Trees by Rex Vicat Cole by Dover Publications, Inc., New York |
