In the realm of architectural and landscape renderings, few were as crisply done as Ernest Peixotto, who's impressionistic renderings gave a sense of great detail amidst what seemed simplicity, using form as the means of achieving depth instead of intense shading...
Walter Jardine, as can be seen, was influenced by Booth, and utilized this influence to in this instance create a most wonderful pen and ink painting of still life, full of textures and depth - a great study in seeking to achieve mastery of still life using this medium...
Richard Flanigan, tho dealing in vignettes, and using a lot of dark strokes, did much in composition to dramatize the scenes, also providing great diversity of textures and details...
John Neil dealt with fantasy, but in such an imaginative manner, his renderings come to life in their expressive detail and sense of depth to his works...
Note in these the manner of setting distances, the sharp contrasts between fore and aft grounds, and even in the fore, the varying of textures of cloths and flesh, and how the emphasis shifts by using light or dark in good contrast, creating good drama...
There were others of this turn of the century kind who also did terrific renderings, almost all for illustration purposes, yet, as with Jardine, works which could stand on their own as fine art - all which should be studied for techniques in composition and delineation of textures, and as means to achieving greater heights of renderings...
