  1. John Biglin in a Single Scull 1874 Thomas Eakins Watercolor

  2. Artistic Elements • Realism (Sewell) • 2. Illumination(Toogood) • Strong light and shadowed center • Put his head in the center with red bandana to direct attention • 3. Watercolor(Hughes) Eakins is one America’s greatest realists. He dedicated his career to depicting the human figure. He was one of the young artists who shifted the view of American art from landscape to figural subjects.(Toogood) I was drawn to this piece of art because of how the artist depicted the textures and the use of the colors.
