Wednesday post.

I will be doing a post soon about ways of painting glassware and reflective surfaces.

In the meantime i recommend looking at some painters of the domestic scene.

Bonnard-

And John Bratby-

Notice how both these artists compress and flatten space. This creates an almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The home as prison?

In the absence of being able to visit galleries, try and make the most of Google searches.

I have also been looking at the tight compositions of Richard Diebenkorn-

He also did landscapes-

These images are intimate rather than grand.
