Arthur Streeton - Arthur Streeton - Fred Draper's Commercial Hotel in Mittagong, 1892, NSW, Australia, watercolour; Barn, watercolour; In My Studio, 1913 watercolour over pencilon paper

Sir Arthur Ernest Streeton (1867–1943) was a great Australian Impressionist landscape painter. He was born in Duneed, Victoria, Australia. Aged 15 years, he began night classes at the National Gallery of Victoria School of Design. He also learned the rudiments from studying art manuals and photographs.

At age nineteen, he began an apprenticeship as a lithographer. He also joined a painting group where he painted plein air, alongside Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin, and Louis Abrahams. He soon became a full time painter and developed a friendship with Charles Conder. The group of artists often camped and painted outdoors at Box Hill, Heidelberg, and the Yarra. They also provided art lessons and formed the Heidelberg School. During the 1890s, Streeton traveled further inland in New South Wales to explore the outback and the Hawkesbury River. 

Streeton traveled to England. He took some time to adjust his artistic identity and become acquainted with very different landscapes. His best market was sending his English works for sale in Australia. Gradually, he began to win recognition in England, France, and the United States.

In 1915, Streeton served as a private in the Australian Army Medical Corps. After three years, he was appointed an official war artist and painted the Western Front in France. After the war, Streeton returned to painting romantic visions of the Australian landscape. By this time, he was a well-established painter. In 1937, was knighted for services to the arts.

Pencil and sand off. With this Birdseye, twice per grit. Works well, but MAN when you’re sanding and your arm is about to fall off and there’s still just a faint bit of pencil still showing and you’re just grinding! 😱 Haha. It’s brutal. But worth it 🤣 #wood #woodworking #pencilon #sandoff #waxonwaxoff #workslow #getzen (at Edmonds, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_QDDggz3n/?utm_medium=tumblr

MWW Artwork of the Day (12/15/19) Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (French, 1796-1875) Portrait of Rosa holding a Tambourine (c. 1825-28) Pen, brown ink & pencilon paper, 15.7 x 12.8 cm. Private Collection

This charming study was probably executed during Corot's first trip to Rome, from November 1825 to the summer of 1828.  Ingres was in the city just a few months before, and his influence is seen in the composition of this sheet, particularly in the glimpse of a townscape in the distance.  'Rosa' is most likely to have been a professional model, paid by Corot to sit for him.  Studies such as this, of half- or three-quarter-length seated women in regional costume were initially drawn by the artist as preparation for the painted landscapes for which he is most famous, but later in his career they were to become independent works in their own right.  (from a Sotheby's auction catalog)
