Childe Hassam, Spring, Navesink Highlands, 1908, Movement. Hassam’s directional strokes also help lead our eyes around the painting. My eyes are taken on a journey from the boats, along the rickety jetty, up through the grass, through the trees at the back, and around the sky. Your eyes may go on a completely different journey through the painting. That’s what makes art interesting! We all see and experience it differently.

Childe Hassam, Up The River, 1906, Color Gradation. There’s a subtle color gradation in the sky. Notice how Hassam created this gradation by changing the color of his strokes rather than by gently blending the colors together. The closeup below also shows how much of the toned surface is showing through in the finished work. It gives the sky a subtle and warm glow without overpowering the blues.
