Kelly McCullough continues to refine a philosophy of seeing and a naturalistic method of painting used by many of the master European painters since the 17th century, including Reynolds, Lawrence and Sargent. Following sight-size technique, the artist places her canvas at a given distance from her subject or object, frequently moves back and forth between the two, and typically employs quick, loose brush strokes to develop her painting. |
