LANDSCAPE - TERRACED HILLSIDE

Everything Into Light

The same hillside dissolved into atmosphere, the sun a blazing vortex through vapour and the terraces reduced to half-legible washes.

How this was made

This piece began with a photograph and a written instruction. Both are kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.

THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS

PROMPT

POSITIVE:
Repaint this terraced hillside landscape as a late J.M.W. Turner oil painting, c. 1840. Dissolve everything into atmosphere and light: the sun burns as a blazing white-gold vortex through vaporous cloud, and the whole upper canvas is a luminous haze of chrome yellow, pale rose and cream. The rice terraces become soft sweeping washes of golden-green, their contour lines only half-legible, edges melting into mist. Distant mountains reduced to faint blue-grey ghosts. Painted over a luminous white ground with thin translucent glazes and dry scumbled whites dragged across the surface; loose, near-abstract handling at the margins, visible palette-knife texture in the brightest passages. The small hut is a mere flicker of dark paint. Romantic sublime, atmospheric, no hard outlines anywhere, canvas weave showing through.
