“There is an instinct for realism, a powerful drive to reproduce oneself. The fascination of photorealistic paintings lies partly in their apparent replication of life, but these are not merely replications. These paintings are often out of life scale, varying from over life-size to under life-size, from brilliant, heightened color to pale, undertone hues.” LyingPowerfulColorPaintingInstinctSizeOneselfBrilliantScalesPaleRealismFascinationHueReplicationLife Size Book:Art & soul: notes on creating Source: Art & soul: notes on creating
“Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies, The tufted crow-toe, and pale gessamine, The white pink, and the pansy freaked with jet, The glowing violet, The musk-rose, and the well attir'd woodbine, With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head, And every flower that sad embroidery wears: Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed, And daffadillies fill their cups with tears, To strew the laureate hearse where Lycid lies.” WellsLyingDiesWhiteTearsFlowerRoseCupsPaleShedToesVioletJetCrowGlowingForsakenPensiveMuskEmbroideryPansies Author:John Milton
