The thickness of the paint, the confidence of the brush strokes and the texture, are some of the things I love about John Singer Sargent’s Lady Agnew. I spent about a year studying his painting process before moving from studying fine-art into a photography degree. I vaguely remember him telling a student that, “If it looks transparent, paint it transparent”—I’ve always hated bullshit sentences like that.
