Winter Landscape, ca. 1910s
Watercolor on paper
In this winter scene, Dodge MacKnight delicately balances subtle gradients of color to convey a frigid, snowy landscape. The wispy branches of the leafless trees offer
an example of the dry brush technique.
In that method of painting, the watercolor is applied sparingly in a less diluted mixture, and then the brush is quickly pulled across the paper.
