I already had his museum/home on our upcoming Spain itinerary, and am excited to find that we'll be in Madrid just before this exhibit closes.

It is very difficult for most beginners to get this concept. But it is one of the most important techniques one can learn to improve your skill. It’s not just the speed, using bigger brushes adds expressiveness and life to ones work and eliminates timid and hesitant strokes. These sketches are masterful examples. -RQRoberto Quintanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947445374845703525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-40401950566250628112019-04-03T18:12:30.376-04:002019-04-03T18:12:30.376-04:00I seem to remember seeing a selection of some of t...I seem to remember seeing a selection of some of these sketches—yes, perhaps it was at the San Diego exhibit—where, in one of the descriptions, Sorolla expressed some embarrassment at the unfinished less than perfect quality of these sketches. They were obviously intended for his own use. I just love the raw expressiveness of these little on the spot studies. Viewed collectively, one really gets a sense of Sorolla’s energy and how nature and light were his teacher...nothing contrived...just beautiful subjects in natural light.

I scrolled through lots of gorgeous posts on their Facebook page, and finally found a link to this publication:<br />https://edicioneselviso.com/en/inicio/167-cazando-impresiones-sorolla-en-pequeno-formato.html. 25 euros for the book, and 21 euros for shipping to Chicago (I ordered two).Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423344151003806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-88463245623752514722019-04-03T17:11:18.033-04:002019-04-03T17:11:18.033-04:00Once you have got "The Basics" you event...Once you have got "The Basics" you eventually can "play around" the way Sorolla did, in this case.<br /><br />Great samples - thanks James.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233420155151875249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-13603961200568251872019-04-03T15:52:04.058-04:002019-04-03T15:52:04.058-04:00There was a great Sorolla show in San Diego Art Mu...There was a great Sorolla show in San Diego Art Museum several years back and they had a whole room full of these. They were great to see from an artist's perspective, but they kind of got over shadowed by the big vibrant full paintings on display in the adjoining rooms.
