STUDIO vs SAUVAGE

Sauvage paintings are painted outside the Sunflowerman studio with a strict time limitation. Studio paintings are crafted in the controlled environment of the studio and showcase details that can only be captured with time and extended focus.

All Sunflowerman paintings demonstrate the hand of the artist in the flow of paint and placement of brush strokes.

  • Studio

    In-studio watercolor painting offers the opportunity for meticulous control, focused exploration, and artistic experimentation in a comfortable and supportive setting. It complements sauvage painting by providing a space for reflection, refinement, and the development of more complex and detailed artworks.

  • Sauvage

    Sauvage watercolor painting offers a unique opportunity to capture the essence of a watch with immediacy and authenticity. It encourages spontaneity, enhances observational skills, and fosters a deep connection between artist and environment, resulting in artworks that resonate with vibrant energy and a sense of place.

  • Studio

    When Sunflowerman paints watercolors in his studio, he harnesses a controlled environment to master lighting, temperature, and humidity. This setting affords him extended working time to perfect details and manipulate paints, using specialized tools and resources for focused experimentation. Studio paintings enable Sunflowerman to observe subjects with meticulous detail and develop his distinctive style with comfort and convenience, free from outdoor distractions.

  • Sauvage

    Painting outside the studio presents challenges such as changing weather conditions, shifting light, and environmental noises, which can be adapted to and incorporated into the work. These challenges encourage spontaneity and rapid decision-making in response to the dynamic elements of time and place. The result is lively brushwork and freshness in the final piece that cannot be replicated in a studio setting.

  • Studio

    Studio painting allows for more detailed observation and study of subjects. Access to sketches, photographs, and the real subject allows for focus on nuances and subtleties that cannot be captured in the field.

  • Sauvage

    Sauvage painting excels in capturing the essence and mood of a specific moment in time. These paintings convey the atmospheric qualities of time and the transient nature of paint, creating artworks that evoke a sense of place and time.

  • Studio

    The typical studio painting requires four to eight weeks from the first sketch to the completed painting.

  • Sauvage
