Original artwork description:

Dutch still life with peach and red currant. Original oil painting on canvas. I was inspired by Jan van Huysum (the Netherlands, 1682-1749) and performed in the traditional technique of the Dutch masters of still life.
This is a multi-layered technique by the old masters of the Golden Age of Dutch painting.
This means that the picture was painted in several layers, with total listening to each layer. The whole work on this picture took about six months.
Here I give photographs of several stages of work. The first layer of the picture is painted with only one colour. At the same time, light and shadows are outlined. After drying, the second layer has been painted without colour so far. The coating is called "lunar". This layer helps achieve a special glow of the still life under the paint layer.
And only then does the work with colour begins. And also in several stages.
In addition to the picture's beauty and depth, this technique also gives the paints' most extraordinary durability and the painting itself.
The colours will retain their original hue and brightness for 70-100 years.
To order, I can paint such a still life also in a larger size.

Materials used:

Highest quality artists' oil paint, canvas on cardboard, linseed oil
