Well, here we are for a lovely afternoon by La Seine. This week Art Giraffe is taking a break inside Georges Seurat’s beautiful Bathers at Asnieres. I wanted to try something a little more compositionally complex than last time, and it was fun to play with the figures and colours here. This was a truly interesting painting to recreate, and I think I learned something new about the use of colour while I was working.
Besides all that, I’d highly recommend a viewing of the original. Seurat’s delicacy of tone is just marvellous. The work itself, as well as the history surrounding it is very interesting. Some handy notes here!
Pip pip!
