Pot of Gold Painting

This artwork depicts the Drakenstein mountains overlooking Paarl in the Western Cape of South Africa. I employ a technique known as glazing to apply layers of colour onto the canvas. In this scene, the clouds are meticulously crafted with approximately 15 thin layers of oil paint. Inspired by the methods of classic Dutch painters, I find that this technique imbues the colours with a luminous quality. However, it is a patient process, as each layer must fully dry before the next can be applied. Often, complementary colours are layered to achieve the desired hue directly on the canvas. I revel in the gradual buildup of colour, evoking the radiant beauty of nature. This A4-sized painting is created using oil paint on a stretched canvas. It is unframed but ready to be displayed as-is on its stretched canvas. The piece comes stretched on a timber frame and will require hanging hardware (hooks, etc.) to be attached to the canvas. Typically, I ship the artwork rolled up (without the timber frame) to minimise shipping costs. However, if you prefer, I can provide a quote for shipping in a crate.
