Edward Hopper Rooms by the Sea



Edward Hopper was an artist in the 20th century from New York. He did a lot with etchings and watercolor but was primarily known for his oil paintings. He is one of the most renowned realist painters. He took very simple things and captured the details and life behind these real life scenes. I really specifically enjoy this painting because at first the drawing almost looks like nothing, you can hardly even tell what it it but once painted it has so much color and life to it. I love the shadows bc it highlights were the sun is shingling through which I thought was very unique. Many paintings show the angle of light but I thought this painting specifically showed the light and gave a feeling of warmth because of that.
