I looked at a lot of Sorolla paintings piece doing that postal service as well as decided to brand a website virtually him - which yous tin honour at About Joaquin Sorolla.

This includes:
He was an extraordinarily prolific painter - I empathize in that place are virtually 2,200 paintings inward total.  The video below is a tour of his menage - which is straightaway a museum - as well as it gives yous a feel of both the touching on of the paintings as well as their size.  I was amazed at how big approximately of them are.



This is approximately other video Museo Nacional del Prado: Comments on the exhibition past times Jose Luis Díez as well as Javier Barón (video) made by the Prado Museum for the retropsective exhibition of Sorolla's live inward 2009 which is inward Castilian - only does accept subtitles - as well as has approximately really great images of the paintings which too gives yous a potent feel of the size as well as touching on of his paintings..

I similar his paintings of boats as well as people at live as well as leisure on the beach - he has a especially fine oculus for the colours associated alongside the H2O as well as the marine atmosphere inward a sunny climate.  His brushwork is too really seductive - it's looks really relaxed - only the approach as well as science degree approaches that of John Singer Sargent.

However I'm too really partial to his paintings of gardens.  That's non unexpected given I'm too rather partial to sketching gardens equally those who know my sketchbook spider web log volition appreciate.

He typically painted these subsequently inward life.  Like Monet he painted his ain garden.  You don;'t accept to motion the easel really far!

His fashion is sketchy only his purpose of colours is almost ever impeccable.  I especially similar the agency he varies his greens.  So many people pigment gardens as well as forget how many greens in that place actually are.

Sorolla did approximately excellent views of the pools as well as fountains inward the palace - such as this fountain and the the puddle of the Alcazar.

I've too created fine art inward 1 of the gardens he used to pigment in.

My pastel drawing (above right) was done plein air piece sat on the shady verandah of a edifice inward the grounds of the Real Alcazar de Sevilla - which is a Castilian palace which started out life equally a Moorish fort.  It remind me of the estrus of the solar daytime as well as the value of the shade.  (BTW I know the pillar is leaning!  I accept an awful work alongside verticals... especially when working plein air!)
