Message:: [QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 3800898, member: 13874"]If you look at the stylized people in the painting they also seem to be floating off the street surface. The painter may be the same as the one who painted my Paris scene. The same stylized "floating" people wander on that street. I have read about the paint factory cities of China. They use the socalled Rembrandt Method of painting there. One painter/artist is "good with" certain features so is allocated them, such as people. Another paints houses, a third skies, a fourth streets, yet another the final touches, highlights, corrections, etc. You will recall that Rembrandt did this, used his apprentices to do the best they were capable of individually, such as hands, feet, faces, hair, folds in the garments. Rembrandt himself oversaw the works, adding the typical Rembrandt touches himself. The Chinese factories do the same. And they have art in various grades, from very high end execution to middle-of-the-road to run-of-the-mill. My paintings are graded middle-of-the-road for the Paris scene, and above-average for the Southwestern mountain and river scene.[/QUOTE]
