LANDSCAPE PAINTING TECHNIQUE IN THE OPEN AIR

“Art Council” magazine published an article (in Russian) / caution: neither yahoo nor google translators are of any use to translate it/:
– “Landscape Study As Independent Genre” (2007) – about the palette-knife painting technique.

Summary of the article "Study As Independent Genre" by Yuri Kudryavtsev - published in ART COUNCIL magazine, #4 /56/, Moscow, 2007:

Boris Kudryavtsev-Dobrohotov always practised his landscape painting in the open air. In his works we see the nature near Moscow in its season changes as well as beautiful autumn and spring landscapes of Sudak environs in Crimea. Maybe it is precisely the small size of his miniature pictures that helped him in any weather conditions and in spite of time shortages to cope with rather complicated landscape painting tasks – to find the special moments of nature’s beauty in its colour, light and form. And as a result, - such vivid and colourful, emotional images of the Nature. Instead of brush, he always used mestichin and with it developed an amazing, filigree technique which transmits the nature's original shapes and rhythms and eloquently speaks of the artist's inspired character.
