Stephen Wysocki’s work reveals the beauty within the ordinary, encouraging viewers to see familiar scenes in a new way. From quiet structures to wide, open landscapes, his paintings tell stories through vibrant color, soft shadows, and a strong sense of atmosphere. Whether working in the studio or painting outdoors, he values both approaches for the balance they bring to his creative process.For this piece, Wysocki begins by toning the canvas with a warm base color to set the mood. Using a reference photograph, he applies principles of color theory to build harmony and contrast, often pairing warm tones with cool greens and blues in the sky. With broad, confident strokes, he establishes the composition before refining each layer into a cohesive and expressive whole.
