• Special message: Wishing all of you a special time of renewal, whatever religion you honor. Springtime is emerging in our neck of the world. The renewal seasons of our major religions are being celebrated, and in my woods the formerly bare trees are putting on their fresh, new garments. That flavor of freshness reminds me of John Singer Sargent's brushstrokes. John Singer Sargent Repose Oil on Canvas 1911 There are times when somebody else has explained and illustrated something so well, I will share it with you rather than to try to emulate or parallel it. Video essayist and journalist Evan Puschak has done a masterful short video about
Sargent's brushwork, one I want to share with you for today's Composing Tip. EVAN PUSCHAK, AKA The Nerdwriter, AT HIS BEST. ENJOY! Enjoy a delightful weekend of renewal! During my Language of Painting series, I explained the role of our visual elements. If you'd like to review those roles to better understand the behavior of elements, here are the links to each of those
discussions: Color --Value -- Shape -- Texture -- Size -- Line and Direction
