I liked seeing the pictures thank you for sharing them.</p> Sometimes for a luminous effect for clouds I use a silver and bronze base then build on it with layers of glaze and thin layers of cream tones until there is a just discernable glow to the cream or white that I wish to achieve.

I get the idea he just more or less rubbed in the general effect and then refined with smaller brushes. Based on his harmonies I think likely in a monochrome to start. His medium seems ordinary- not greasy not dry occasionally cracking if used much which indicates to me a resin. Basically I think he just went at it in the normal kinda searching manner and kept at it until it came about fully. I suppose knowing when to stop must have been an overriding concern for him. That and keeping it all under control until the end.</p> Went to D.C. and Cincinnati to see his show at the Taft.

Not really that much glazing done. And you might want to abandon canvas. Inness almost always painted on plywood. Most of us from that school come to realize that alot of the texturing seen on late 19th century paintings is created by the artist, not the painting surface. Iness did a lot of oil dry brush to build up to the density of color and a final dry glaze for the chroma of color. That is the way I paint. And you should know that many of those paints are not manufactued anymore. In that respest we have been ripped off. We can only emulate these masters colors</p> I can be of assistance I believe.

From the examples I've seen in museums, it mostly looks like direct, bravura brush strokes combined with occasional glazing. It does not look like a technically complex approach to painting. But that's just a guess.</p> Rena,
