Reflections of boats in Sanary harbor Painting

This oil painting is a semi-abstract treatment of one of the artist's favourite themes: reflections of fishing boats, usually old traditional ones, in the water.The artist used several watercolours made on location as studies for this work. He started working on this theme a few years ago painting watercolours of boat reflections in Mediterranean harbours, mainly Sète and Sanary because you find there a lot of old fishing boats. He loves the abstract effect given by the reflections of these coloured mediterranean boats .Altogether he has painted about 12 of them. This particular work was painted on a linen canvas in his studio over a period of eight months using the glazing technique. Glazing consists in applying a transparent layer of paint over another thoroughly dried one. In this painting there are between 6 to 14 thin layers of paint, depending on the opacity of the pigment. This process gives a lot of depth and increases luminosity but it's very slow since a fortnight drying is required between each layer. The artist uses extra fine pigments ensuring long conservation of the work (several centuries for an oil painting !). Each painting is sold with a certificate of authenticity and dispatched carefully packaged in a strong cardboard box and sent with a tracked courier, insured to the value of the artwork.
