A cerebral painter…he can recall so much information about composition, contrast, repeats, edges etc., that I can’t see how he manages to finish a painting. I say this, not as a negative comment but in admiration of his vast knowledge that he uses when he paints anything at all. Bravo.
Great conversation, Charlie and TJK! Thomas, when you showed the painting from Santa Fe, I got a flashback to the ride back into town! Lol. Seriously, though. Excellent information. Super helpful things to consider for intermediate painters like me. Really appreciate you guys taking the time.
...Charlie used the term "isolation" in the still life peonies with single lemon...yes, the lemon is slightly too isolated and I want that light spot to the far right that's floating above the table cloth to be a very sneaky subdued innuendo of another lemon unseen, changing the shape ever so slightly, rounded and ever so slightly yellow, oh no, you two are turning me into an art composition geek, great work Mr. Kitts! As always thank you Charlie. You Charlie have a penchant for smart guest, why do I have a feeling you don't suffer fools, (unless there's music and wine flowing)
This was so so good.I've watched and listened to Thomas on streamline with Eric and he's always so informative.Loved his painting of the palm tree, also the rest but I like the light in that one.How about making him your resident guest? Thomas?
My favorite example of limited focus by the human eye is that when someone says "look me in the eyes" it can't be done. We have to choose which eye to look at. We can't focus in on both at the same time. I think this is why sometimes when we talk with people that have a bad eye or a slow eye we try not to look at it but it's uncomfortable. I think our instinct is to rove back and forth into a speaker's eyes.
when I sketch for say 10 or 20 minutes, half that time will be spent not only squinting but with one eye closed, not unlike shooting on a target range for accuracy...one of my many favorite artist is blind in one eye (from a vert early age) and his drawings are to die for
yes, the voyageurs painting, that bow does seem awfully bright and the dark "comma" really pronounces it as well. My first thought was glazing (I don't particularly like glazing and consider it more of an emergency quick fix) Yes, as charlie says look at the values. I love many modes of art and for quite a few years I was a Rondezvous gal and all my besties were archaeologist and made these birch bark canoes, I've paddled in them myself. Darkening the white would give it more of the patina it should have , the whole group in the canoe and maybe especially the reds are perhaps overly pronounced./ stated. LOVEthe charchter in the black hat and red plume.

Nonny Moose has a lotta quotes in this one
good information, but I didn't see that meaning of his minor changes, didn't do much for me.
