Day Forty Four: Moonlit Pond by Granville Redmond.
Hello and welcome to day 44 of 100 days of Tonalism.
Today's study is 'Moonlit Pond' by Granville Redmond.
Granville Redmond lived from 1871 to 1935. He was considered to be both a Tonalist and an Impressionist. A point of interest about Granville is that he was deaf, also he was a friend of Charlie Chaplin and acted in several of his movies. I will read some biographical information about Granville in today's video so be sure to check that out.
Cheers,

A bit about 'Moonlit Pond' by Granville Redmond. In my studio work there have been three or four paintings I have done in the last several years that have been what I would term to be blue paintings. I can't say as I've managed to do one that I feel is as successful as Granville's painting we are discussing today.
I have no idea what his inspiration was or how he actually accomplished his painting. Regarding my study, I basically painted my board a medium shade of blue and then proceeded to work down in value and up in value, keeping my chroma in the blue range.
Overall I'd say I'm very happy with the way the study turned out and in fact this is actually the second instance of this painting that I've done as I sold the first study.
