- This coastal artwork is a realistic painting of a seaside scene at sunset. The background features a sky rendered in warm yellow and orange hues, with the sun hanging low on the horizon. Below the sky waves gently rolling towards the shore.
The painting shows the shoreline, which is covered with stones and pebbles. These stones are intricately detailed with shadows and highlights in various earthy colors—shades of brown, grey, and blue, with some touches of warmer colors reflecting the sunlight. Golden reflections from the sun shimmering on both the water and the wet stones are giving the painting a strong sense of the warm, golden light.
Overall, the painting captures the tranquil beauty of a coastal landscape bathed in the soft, radiant light of the setting sun.
- I usually start my work with a coat of Gesso primer even on canvasses that are sold primed. Then proceed to create a traditional underpainting as Old Masters did to determine values of color and composition. I only work with oil paints. Each painting has at least 3-4 thin layers. My artwork has almost no texture.
After the painting is finished and cured for 2-4 weeks, then the protective varnish coat goes on, I usually use Dammar varnish that give it a glossy finish. I believe that Dammar makes oil paint appear more lustrous.
