Camille Pissarro, drawing with light

Photography means 'drawing with light' and although I study
other photographers to discover the best methods for this,
Pissarro, undoubtedly one of the masters of 'painting light',
provides inspiration too. Despite an unparalleled gift for
drawing, he was modest enough to stifle this ability to
capture detail, in order to concentrate on light and how it
affected colour. His true gift was to recreate the essense of
a scene, normally of the mundane, yet still engender a
response in the viewer that suggests they are seeing much
more than is on the canvas...and there are few
photographers capable of that...
