Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
This sea painting is approx 20x24" or 50x60 cm, shipped on stretched canvas.
- This painting of the wave shows a bright shimmering sunset on the water at swimmer's point of view with a dramatic sky in the background.
- All sides are painted. Can be displayed unframed.
- 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.
