CAROLYN EGELI'S IMPRESSIONISTIC APPROACH.

The article focuses on oil painter Carolyn Egeli and some of her art techniques. According to the author, Egeli's work has an honesty about them that cannot be taught. She cautions against the artist, and thus the viewer, getting too close and looking down on the subject, especially if the portrait is three-quarter length, including the subject's hands and lap. Egeli takes frequent breaks as a painting progresses, she works on another painting, plays the piano or exercises, and then returns to the painting refreshed.
