Before I start working on a painting I develop the idea for the art in sketchbook. Over the years, I have created a regular library of sketchbooks that I go to for reference or new ideas.
Most of my paintings are created on stretched canvas over a wooden inner frame. These high-quality canvas are made from heavy-weight cotton, covered with a coating of gesso that has been handsanded.
Most of the paintings I create on canvas are in the size from 50 x 70 cm up to 100 x 140 cm. (approx 19.8 x 27.8 inches to 39.6 x 55.6 inches).
The sides of the canvas are painted so each work of art is ready to hang. No need to frame your original, one-of-kind, fish art.
On the back I have attached the hardward to make hanging your painting easier. Your painting is ready to hang!
I paint using either oil or acrylic paints.
Most of my paintings are created with acrylic paints.
The brand of acrylic paints that I primarily use are a high-quality paint made in Erkrath, Germany by the company "Schmincke".
On the back of each painting I also sign and date the art work using acrylic paints and add the title of the painting.
