Double date. The original artwork painted underwater. Painting

The artwork was painted completely underwater during scuba diving with special environmentally friendly paints. This technology was developed by the author. These paints are resistant and durable, like oil paints. I have completed the “Double date” sketch at a depth of four meters during two pool dives sessions. Well, I do it sometimes. Even a small painting requires drying before refining the details. So, on my first dive, I took this small A4 canvas and mapped out the main shapes of corals, butterflyfish, and background silhouettes. Then I switched to another work and devoted the next hour and a half to it. A couple of days later, after the sketch has been dried correctly, I finished it in the same way. Preparing all the equipment, coming into and leaving the water, finding a place and all other organizational aspects take much effort and time. It is much easier to spend maximum time at the bottom, having submerged once. The study is just my search for composition and a story about fish swimming in pairs. One day it will be formed as a bigger painting. There are more than 200 interviews and articles about my artworks in mass media of more than 30 countries. U can find some of them here. https://olgadiving.com/en/media/ This artwork is framed plastic, but can be sent in tube or on the stretcher or with frame. The artwork is titled and signed on the back side. The original stretcher may have small natural evidence of being underwater. This does not affect the quality of the artwork, but only confirms the way it was made. All are shown in the last photo above.
