This second and final part of the lecture presents a closer look at watercolors of John Singer Sargent as he interprets water-from still water to raging torrents of water.
A noted technique of his, is starting with the middle value and working both to the lighter values as well as the darker values. This approach to watercolor was, and continues to be, unique among watercolorists. This technique is examined in this lecture.
Some of his personal brushstrokes, such as what I call his “eyelash” stroke, are discussed.
I encourage you to visit the museums that collect and preserve the work of John Singer Sargent.
