Wyeth was known for his stunning depictions of the rural landscapes and people of Pennsylvania and Maine and it was this dedication to observation and realism that made his art so powerful. It was as if time had stood still in this place, with its weathered houses and peaceful landscape.Īnd it was in this moment that I realized the beauty of getting back to basics with the art of observational drawing, just as Andrew Wyeth had done so many times before. During Andrews teen years, he mastered the art of watercolor, figure drawing, and later learned egg tempera from his brother-in-law Peter Hurd. Get Back to Basics with the Art of Observational Drawing in Nature like Andrew WyethĪs I walked down the quiet streets of a Historic Richmondtown, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of calm wash over me. ![]()
