Adriano,
I would love to see them!
Actually, from what I read about Impressionism, it would be very difficult to do Alla Prima. Monet's work were all built up layer by layer, they are quite crusty.
It is too bad you cannot see the Benson's up close. They have a surprisingly rough surface and the color is built up of myriads of little specks of color. They really are quite beautiful.
The seascape painting is at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum., quite near where I live. Eleanor is at the Boston museum, not to far as well. I love to study them.
I know he used photography, but his color sense was so refined and intuitve, he coould make a dull twig sing.
