Red Shirt, Homosassa, Florida is a 1904 graphite by Winslow Homer, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows tall palm trees with bright green leaves. Some have yellow flowers at the bottom. The sky is light with soft clouds. The ground is sandy, and there’s a small body of water at the bottom. The artist used watercolor, which lets colors blend smoothly. The trees look a bit wobbly—this was a quick sketch, not a detailed study. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use thin, see-through layers.
Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) was an American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects.
