Hudson River, Logging is a 1892 graphite by Winslow Homer, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in a straw hat standing on a wooden raft, using a long pole to push it through calm blue water. Another person sits in the raft, wearing a red shirt and a hat. The background has tall green trees and a hilly shore under a partly cloudy sky. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show light bouncing off the water and trees. The colors are soft and natural, with blues and greens blending together. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for this dreamy effect.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
