Hi Reader,
In this new Style Study Session, we are exploring the work of Richard Diebenkorn, an artist whose paintings move between abstraction and landscape with a quiet sense of structure, space, and clarity.
At first glance, his work can feel simple. But when you slow down and look closer, you start to see how intentional every decision is.
In this video, I break his work down using the Six Qualities of Style, so you can understand:
• How composition creates structure and flow in his paintings
• Why color plays such a subtle but powerful role in his work
• How he moves between abstraction and landscape without losing clarity
• What his process teaches us about revising and evolving an artwork
• How to study an artist like Diebenkorn without copying their surface style
This is not about learning to paint like him.
It is about learning how style is actually built.
👉 Watch the new Style Study Session here.
As you watch, pay attention to the decisions underneath what you see. That is where your own artistic voice begins to form.
And don't forget: you can choose the next artist I cover. Reply here or comment below the video.
Remember: proudly call yourself an artist.
Together, we are Artist Strong.
