Genre Scenes

This year Linda will teach the art of painting genre scenes to capture the nostalgic art of country peasant life.

The photo shown here is an original genre art scene by 19th Century artist, Daniel Ridgway Knight.

One of our favorite Genre artists is Julien Dupre who was a French Realist that painted genre scenes of peasant people, cows, sheep and geese. An example of his art work is shown here.

The quiet rural life of peasants tending cows, sheep and white geese is an enchanting theme to pursue for genre scenes.

Through a series of studies, you'll build a storehouse of painting techniques that are basic staples in painting genre scenes.

Another favorite is Daniel Ridgway Knight, an American Realist who painted ladies in garden settings.

Shown here is an original art work by 19th century artist, Daniel Ridgway Knight to exemplify his American genre scenes.
