  1. The horizon dissolves into soft, undulating bands of green and blue, flattening depth into a quiet rhythm. Vallotton’s brush blurs the line between earth and sky, suggesting a landscape observed through memory rather than sight.

    What detail in the layered greens might reveal the artist’s hand at work?

  5. I think I'll call it good enough - for a first try with pastels and on blue paper as a background..

    I might do a bit more, but I definitely see I have a lot to learn about how pastels move and how to blend and layer..

  6. I'm getting excited about how this study is coming along. On the left is a postcard of Félix Vallotton's "Baigneuse sur un rocher" - Bather on a rock.

    I'm new to pastels, and this is Pastelmat paper - it's a fun exercise. We'll see if I can make the pastels opaque enough for the skin tone..

  7. "The Bath," Felix Vallotton, 1894.

    Swiss-born painter, writer, and printmaker Vallotton (1865-1925) was a member of my favorite art movement, the Nabis,, but also an important figure in bringing woodcuts to the modern age.

    His early work was very detailed, but in the 1890s he began to explore using simple black-and-white coloring and opting for outlines and blocks of shade, rather than detail....which the Nabis encouraged.

    His woodcuts could contain elements of social satire and commentary, although none of that seems evident here. Other woodcuts showed assorted domestic scenes, images of couples (possibly in clandestine affairs), portraits that bordered on caricature, and a number of images of anarchist street demonstrations. He also did a number of prints as book illustrations and theater programs.

    After the Nabis drifted apart in 1900, he stuck to painting, with great success, but thanks to him, other printmakers began to experiment with woodcuts, bringing into a new century.
