For oil painters: Increase the fluidity of your paint by mixing the colour with glaze medium (a mix of linseed oil, dammar varnish and solvent), and apply with a fine round or rigger brush for flowing, even, unbroken lines.

Belle also purchased American work influenced by the Barbizon style. These included the moody pastel-on-paper canal boat at sunrise originally titled Landscape Dawn Newport, by Sarah Wyman Whitman, as well as The Old Barn Under Snow, Newport, by John La Farge.
