Turner's painting feels like we are straining our eyes to make out the edge of the cliff in the light and the steam ship in the dark while looking at the painting just as we would if we were viewing the scene in real life. I disagree about Bob Ross; I don't think he even got that or anything else partly right.

I’m confused by your inclusion of the Thomas Hart Benton painting, though. Do you mean it to illustrate the idea of grouping like-values together, or as an example of a chaotic painting due to too much contrast? I don’t see it as a chaotic composition at all, though some of the scenes certainly depict moments of chaos.Drake Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008337414084502800noreply@blogger.com
