It dives into his oil painting technique and process, carefully analyzing the different type of brushtrokes, support, and ideas he must have been thinking of. This is one of my favorite paintings of his, and it is extra cool that it is done at a small format, similar to the size I typically work in! Unlike a previous video on my channel, this sketch - being so small- also seems like it must have been executed au premier coup - at the first go. Aka alla prima. So many funny words for these things. I hope by watching this break down, you gain som insight's into his process!
