MASTER TIP HOMER
The painting techniques of
the world’s best artists
This brisk watercolour-and-pencil study
by the American master Winslow
Homer is a masterclass in little details.
Firstly, by reserving the off-white paper
for the main fi shing boat and soaking
the left-hand boat in a dark wash, he
quickly establishes a sense of sunlight
and depth. Next comes the rigging,
marked out in pencil lines that serve
to tie together otherwise large and
undetailed passages of paint. Finally
comes the fi gures, daubed freehand,
yet with just enough detail to suggest
a narrative: arms aloft to raise the
rigging, a head leaning out as if calling
out. Every mark counts.
