John Constable The Haywain

John Constable’s painting, titled The Haywain created in 1821, was created with atmospheric perspective, shown in the sky and how the white sky and the tall trees blend together. Shown in the painting is a contrast with the light sky and the dark ground where there is a lot shadows to make the painting look realistic, and for blending Constable mixed a dark color with a light color to also try to blend in well. There are many different lines used this painting also for an example, the perimeter of the roof of the house are diagonal lines, straight lines, and parallel lines, the lake in front of the house is made of zig zag lines, and the tree branches are made up of curved lines. This painting is a 2D oil painted landscape painting that shows
harmony with all of the colors it was created with. There is also a balance with the colors even though there is somewhat contrast. John Constable’s painting has a vanishing point across the field and into the tree on the other side of the painting.
