However, his work has been highly influential. His art features dazzlingly luminous colours; the colour Parrish blue was named in acknowledgement. He achieved the results by means of a technique called glazing where bright layers of oil colour separated by varnish are applied alternately over a base rendering (Parrish usually used a blue and white monochromatic underpainting). He would build up the depth in his paintings by photographing, enlarging, projecting and tracing half- or full-size objects or figures. Parrish then cut out and placed the images on his canvas, covering them with thick, but clear, layers of glaze. The result is realism of elegiac vivacity. His work achieves a unique three-dimensional appearance. Source: Wikipedia.org
