Forest Entry, G.A. Durkee


In this excerpt from his book "Expressive Oil Painting", George Allen Durkee demonstrates each step in this painting while talking about composition and other elements of a painting.

"Approach the demonstration in a spirit of play. While one part of you thinks about technical principles—light/dark, warm/cool, lines/angles, pigment mixtures and which tools to use—let the other part of you, the wordless part, feel its way along. Many effects will come about by accident. You will discover painting tricks I may not show you. Textures, color juxtapositions and compositional possibilities will emerge as if by magic. Remember these and learn to apply them deliberately."
