Claude Monet, Haystacks

His use of combination of colors really brings out the vibrancy of the light reflections. Based on his usage of color, you can tell he understands how the light reveals itself in colors.

Probably another that the digital image leaves something out?

Of course. Digital images really can't do justice to actual work. You know that photo images do no justice compared to what your eyes see. The most true representation of what you see is through your eyes, anything else like photos would have some kind/level of filtering due to limitations of the medium.

Right, but at least we do have something? And that something is often enjoyable....while never the “full-real-deal”........

Yes, it's just level of fidelity. How close you are getting to true reorientation of the object at the time.

Queen Victoria on horseback - Grant 1845​

Woman in a Tub - Edgar Degas

Not a painting, but pastels.

Amazin rendering of color and outlining of figurine Very good lighting and dimensionality rendering.

The Dance Class - Edgar Degas

 

[SilverEars]

Christina's World - Andrew Wyeth - Google his portraits. They are very well done. I generally like realists. Degas proclaimed himself to be a realist. And the Renaissance artists. You have to have good technical ability to be realist. Van Gogh can never be a realist. I speculate that the way he sees limits him to see things closest to objectively.

King of Ful (1896)
Pierre Jean Van der Audera

 

[SilverEars]

Self Portrait, Chuck Close, realist

 

[SilverEars]

In Style of an Edward Hopper painting. Personally, not much of a fan of Edward Hopper paintings. He generally has good compositions and lighting.

Edward Hopper study on morning light. It's interesting, but a good painter that knows colors do not need notes of the colors. They just paint what they see. Kinda like Monet or Degas.
