Nikolai Astrup is a Norwegian artist who also painted landscapes that he knew well. What I was most interested in at his exhibition was the way he painted textures and detail. I took some (bad quality) close-ups of some of his paintings. The colours and marks he uses to suggest stone or bark are really beautiful and are what inspired me for the next part of my project.
I was also interested in his woodcut prints that he did using oil, creating a rather painterly feel to them. Rather than painting the textures he uses marks here to suggest texture.
