Mastering Atmosphere in Art: Lessons from Saul Leiter's Photography

[@JohnHarrisonArtist]

It always still amazes me, how little detail there needs to be, to show so much in a painting. I love it when I can achieve that, especially in sketches too. Great video Christina

[@christinakentart]

Thank you! Same here, I love finding just the right balance between detail and simplification :)

[@ReefsRamblings]

I absolutely love this! I am both a huge fan of yours and of blurry photography, so this was perfection for me. Thank you and I cannot wait to have a go myself.

[@christinakentart]

Aw thank you, I’m so glad it gave you some inspiration! Happy painting :)

I've never heard of Saul Letter until today, but love photography and New York is always an interesting subject. I like his style, the abstraction. Fun video. Always a pleasure to watch you paint :)

[@christinakentart]

Yeah I just learned about him recently and I immediately fell in love with his work. So glad you liked the video!

[@DavidJWold]

Wow, Christina, great video and painting! I'm trying so hard to get looser and a little more blurry, and watching how you do it and explain it at the same time is so valuable to me. Thank you!

[@christinakentart]

Thanks! I’m so glad you found it helpful, good luck with your painting!

[@georgemellen6922]

Love this video...thanks so much...I wouldn't have imagined a way to recreate this dreamy abstract photographic work in paint and you definitely showed me it's possible.

Wondefull timing 😊Yesterday I made a photo online of blurry trees with light behind. Very curious, thank you!

[@christinakentart]

That’s great! I’m glad you liked the video :)

[@tbr.artstudio]

Great inspiration, I would like to state that I also particularly enjoy the music underlying the painting parts, it's meditative almost, thanks for taking the effort.

[@christinakentart]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the music as well, I hoped it would create a peaceful vibe :)

[@bocolewish]

Nice! Thank you.
