About This Work
This is an important work in my painting career. I had spent much time before painting skies, seas, width and atmosphere until I was really satisfied with this painting because it caught all that I thought was important in painting the sea atmosphere. The color blue, especially ultramarine blue is very special to me and has an interesting history in art. Ultramarine Blue is a warm blue, it is calming and can help to relax you, it is also a spiritual and sacred color that emphasizes width and space. It is a painting with a handbuilt canvas frame, it has a special handmade chalk prime ground, all colors (gouache and mainly egg tempera) were hand mixed with high quality lightfast pigments. The painting is made with approx. 80 thin layers, this way built up like the old Dutch masters used to paint from thin layers to thick layers, from gouache to eggtempera to oil. This painting has no oil color, but egg tempera has oil in it and this gives the painting a silky shiny finish that protects it without varnish needed. Also, blue colors will never appear cold when painted with egg tempera, they will keep a warm side andthat is different to a lot of acrylic works. You will find a lot of different shades and textures when looking at the painting that are not easy to catch in photos. It is a very special and unique piece! 100x123x4 cm, deep canvas. Handmixed gouache, egg tempera and little pastels, signed and titled on the back. (c) Gesa Reuter 2008 Attention: Blue and green colors are very difficult to photograph. The photos show the colors more blue than the painting is in real life. It has more shades of blue and hints of green blue. The lower part is mainly ultramarine, but the upper half has more different shades.
