George de Forest Brush

Muddy Colors

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Here’s some inspiration from the book  “George de Forest Brush – The Indian Paintings”. I’ve always admired his work and thought I’d scan a few images to share here.

Hope you enjoy them,
-Justin

    Great stuff, thanks, Justin. Howard Pyle mentioned G.d.F.B. quite often in his composition lectures, and his work must have influenced N.C. Wyeth's early indian paintings.

    Wonderful paintings! I actually checked this while up late doing an art project, and saw some solutions in the rendering of these paintings which I can apply to my own work. Thanks for that! You might have just bumped my grade up 🙂

    The third one down is being displayed at the Seattle Art museum, and it was hands down one of my favorite paintings there. A lot of the subtle tones in the shadows are lost in the scan, they glow when you see it in person.
