- Winslow Homer captured the feeling of the sea like few others, having spent nearly thirty years along the coast of Maine before his death. In this short video, artist Jill Poyerd explores how he communicates feeling in one of his best seascape paintings.

The art world is better for you being in it. Your perspective and analysis always gives me something new to think about and keeps this 72 year you artist discovering new information about artists, art materials and techniques. As a watercolorist, I especially appreciate your videos on the subject. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Linda. I love to hear that.
So happy to have you in TH-cam! This is a wonderful lesson to x-ray Winslow Homer’s painting and discover how he did it. Now I appreciate his paintings a lot more than before. Thank you! One thing I noticed was that in the darkest areas, as well as in the lightest ones, there are details with information. From photography I learned never to have the darkest darks or lightest lights without details. I don’t always find this in paintings but Homer did it brilliantly. I love your lessons Jill! I hope you are well. ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Liliana - Great to hear from you! That's such an interesting additional bit of information. I actually haven't heard that, but it makes sense.
I too, love Homer’s seascapes. Thanks for showing this one and drawing attention to its marvels. ❤
This is fantastic Jill! Thank you for sharing your analysis of these Homer's seascapes. You have pointed out much that I didn't see on my own. Inspiring!
I’m so glad you liked it, David!
Thank you for explaining his use of muted colors. As you point out, seeing the work in a museum face-to-face is an unforgettable valuable experience. They have some in MFA (Boston, MA USA) that I always see when I visit. I love your videos! THANK YOU Loli
Glad you enjoyed it! Some day I need to get to that museum...it looks like a beautiful one.
What an intelligence and a fabulous voice.
Thank you!
Brilliant!
Thank you!!!
Consider my thanks for every vid you have put on this channel! It is a treasure!!
Thank you, bluesque - so appreciated
Thank you again.
Another Jill Poyerd masterpiece!
I always find myself drawn in and engrossed by your insights and explanations....every time.
Thank you for these thoughful videos!
That's so nice to hear - very glad you enjoy them!
My eye invariably ends up resting with the illuminated part of the sky, and its reflection on the water. This, for me, must be where Homer wants to lead us. The focal point of this painting. - I very much appreciate your rich and precise art films here! I watch them all!
Yes, I can see that. It could be that spot, too. When I look at it from a distance, my eye is drawn there as well. I wish we could ask Homer! Glad you enjoy my work.
Beautifull work.
Your content is absolutely amazing! I am glad to have found it. Thank you
I'm so glad you enjoy it!
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you again and again.
What a wonderfull lesson. Thank you thank you!!
Indeed!
Quite interesting. Always a pleasure to listen to your videos.
Always great 🙌
Mahalo = Many Thanks🌞
Thanks, great analysis, I love to hear and learn more from your analysis. I somehow feel that the wave in the front could be better "integrated", it seems to lay on the sea instead of being one. Perhaps the wave is a bit too dark and therefore the line towards the shore to visible? I dont know. Thank you again.
Thanks!
Steve, you're so kind - Thank you x 3!
Only one small suggestion: use an annotation pen in orange or a color compatible with the painting colors. Red seems to at odds here.😅
That's fair. Sometimes, I myself, question the color of the highlighter. I like it to be visible/striking....but not irritating. I'll check into it, although some to-be-released are already set.
Dear Jill, thank you for this wonderful video. I like Homer's works very much. But I can't distinguish very well, with which medium a painting was painted. Are these works oil paintings?
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, they are all oil paintings. I didn't realize it's not mentioned, wow.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt Thank you very much 🌹
How did he accomplish the rays of light shining down from the clouds? Is it a trick with values or is he swiping away at some of the paint with a cloth or some sort of paint remover?
It's hard to say without seeing the piece in person, but it could be that he gently wiped away some of the paint with a rag if the bottom layer was dried pale yellow. Or, he could have carefully, quickly swiped the color on after the paint was touch dry.
Think you’re right. There’s a painting at the Yale art gallery called “inside a capuchin monastery” that has this light effect pronounced. I looked at it after reading your comment. Looks like the artist waited for it to dry, then put a thin layer of white on. Thanks for the help, going to play around with it. Keep up the great series
@@thekingchrissyg I'm glad you got to observe something similar in person (Someday I hope to see that gallery...).
First comment! 😊
