DUDLEY SUMMERS (1892-1975)

He earned his way primarily as an illustrator.

Sadly there is no publishing nformation regarding the above illustration. It is watercolor and gouache on illustration board and measures 20" x 24". What I find interesting from the technical vantage point is that supports (illustration board, etc.) which appear to be white simply are not. Hence the use of a pure white pigment for the lightest lights and the fact that the light value of the support was used in the tonal structure of the scheme.

These little sketches were priliminary works for illustrations..

 

Other work coming soon.
