PROJECTS INCLUDED:
1. Farmer's Daughter, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
12" x 16"
TECHNIQUE: Underpainting Glazes, Overpainting Techniques.
CONTENTS: 13 Pages, 3 Color Images, Color Swatches, Cartoon
Line Drawing.
The lowly peasant was elevated to a noble subject by the painters
of the 18th Century. They were represented by the French masters
Millais, Millet, LePage, and LaThangue as the salt of the earth.
Their paintings were admired and have stood the test of time by
continuing to speak of the modern aesthetic. This painting is
executed in the style and composition of those painters, attempting
to show the solidity of the earthy women used to hard work, and
that they can be beautiful without being prettified.
2. The Goose Girl, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
22" x 28"
TECHNIQUE: Modified Grisaille, Opaque Overpainting.
CONTENTS: 21 Pages, 5 Color Images, Color Swatches, Cartoon
Line Drawing.
This painting is executed in the manner of the French artist
Jules Bastien-LePage, who influenced a whole generation of his
contemporaries. He painted in the overcast light of daylight when
there was no strong sunlight effect. His light was cool and constant,
unlike that of the cast-shadow, bright, sunny day. The results
of such a setting were the wonderful tonal paintings produced
by LePage and his followers.
Each mass within the painting is rather flat, exhibiting no light/dark
extremes of value. The vertical forms of the distant hedge and
trees become a dark shape showing few highlights. The ground melts
in one large, amorphous mass, appearing as a light plane against
which all the vertical forms contract.
Since the light is cool, there is little aerial perspective which
could indicate distance. The absence of direct, warm, bright sunlight
eliminates the warmest colors and drastic contrast, which would
be available on a sunny day.
3. A Walk in the Park, by J. Liliedahl
 SIZE:
16" x 20"
TECHNIQUE: Transparent Underpainting, Glazing.
CONTENTS: 17 Pages, 4 Color Images, Color Swatches, Cartoon
Line Drawing.
NOTE: Easy project for beginners.
This painting was inspired by those of the impressionists who
painted their contemporaries in Paris strolling through parks,
such as the one presented here.
The ladies wore their Sunday finery and strolled to see and be
seen. In the days before the mass television media, one had to
frequent the fashion parades to keep up with the latest in street
wear.
