Mary’s Landscape Art Info

What follows is more advice from Camille Pissarro regarding landscape paintings.

When painting, look for a clear object, see what lies to the right and left of it and work at all sections simultaneously.  Apply paint all at once, with brush strokes of the right colours and brightness and try to set down your observations directly.

Cover the canvas in one sitting and work at this until you can find nothing else to add.  Paint what you see and feel.  Paint strongly and unhesitatingly, for it’s best not to lose the first impression.  One must have only one master:  nature.  One must always ask her counsel.
