That detail is incredible. How did they size paper back then? I'm thankful we have quick and easy acrylic gesso to use these days. ... do you know how big this picture was?
That is amazing detail. What size is the original?
beautiful work on the leaves! thank for sharing, James.
I am always amazed at seeing the details of their palm trees. Some of my favorite painting to see when I go to the National Gallery in Washington DC!
