Emil Nolde was a German painter and printmaker. He was very
well known for his oil paintings and water colors. Water color is a painting medium
consisting of pigments suspended in a solution of water and gum Arabic. In his
water color called Blue Mountain his brushwork is very vigorous. If you look at
the clouds to the right compared to the water fall in the middle they have different
brush strokes and mixtures of colors. He has expressive choice of colors to
with his golden yellows and multiple blues. The tone of this piece is very
soothing. It reminded me of Niagara Falls and how the water looks so fresh and
beautiful. His work really jumps out at you because of his use of vivid colors
and the way he blends them together.
