Andrew Wyeth — French Twist, 1967

Painting: Drybrush on paper

Betsy James Wyeth, the artist’s wife, is seen here in the Wyeth’s Pennsylvania home. The technique used, drybrush, is achieved by using watercolor paints applied with the least amount of liquid necessary to transfer the pigment to paper. This allows the artist to have the finest control over the detail he renders.
