I've always loved this painting from Sargent. It's so nice to sit down and really study it to understand how he used color and light. When you break it down, you realize how intentional every single choice is.
I love the idea that he could only paint this for exactly 10 minutes a day when the twilight was just right, inspiring!
Make sure to follow to get one of these every week.
More work from our virtual plein air challenge! We are running a prop design challenge so don't hesitate to come on discord and try!

@pyroowdaily is joining us for our Sept 26 intakes.
Genuinely happy to announce that he will teach a one-week class to our students.
I've been looking at his work for years, there is something in his linework, his design choices, and posing that makes me want to immediately play these characters in a video game.
This is just the beginning, more is coming!

We are superexcited to announce that Timothy Rodriguez is joining ConceptCore Academy as an instructor and follow our end of year projects!
Timothy brings an insane amount of top-tier film industry experience to the table. He spent years as a Senior Concept Artist at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), and has brought his incredible vision to studios like Epic Games, Blur Studio, and Warner Bros (including visual development for Black Adam and more...).
He is an absolute powerhouse, and we can’t wait for him to share his knowledge with you all!
Painted in summer 1909 on a 2-metre canvas, on the actual beach at El Cabanal in Valencia. Took him three months.
He rigged a black drape on three sides of the easel to kill glare off the wet oil. A white umbrella overhead, so direct sun didn't hit the canvas. Ropes to weight everything down, the wind would have taken a 2m stretcher straight off the sand. Conservators still find grains of Valencian sand in his canvases today.
Look at the dress. It's not white. It's seven different colors, a charcoal grey deep in the folds, a cool blue-grey that's actually bluer than the sea behind it, a warm pinkish-tan where light bounces up off the sand. The fabric's volume is built from temperature shifts. That's the whole trick.
Five months before he painted this, his Hispanic Society show in New York drew 160,000 visitors in four weeks. He came home to Valencia and painted this in the afterglow.
Old Masters, every Sunday!
