Pushing Paint in Tuscany by Diana Moses Botkin


I still had not located any paint thinner when I did this little study the next morning after finishing "San Gimagnano, Afternoon".

I could see the silhouetted towers up the hill from where I was, with the awakening sky behind it.

Pushing the thick paint around on my panel without solvent worked because I kept the silhouetted contrast my focus. I wasn't able to find a hardware store to buy paint thinner until the day after this, in another town.
