Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This ocean wave oil painting (40x60 cm or approx. 16x24") is done and shipped on stretched canvas.
This is a hand painted, one of the kind artwork done and signed by me, Olga Jones.
- This original painting depicts a large tube wave with a misty coast in the background. Moody sky reflects on the water surface. It is painted in realistic style.
- Excellent holiday gift idea for surfers, ocean lovers, father's birthday gift or a housewarming gift.
- 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.
