If you wonder what technical perfection looks like, it looks like this. This man is the undisputed expert in the egg tempra method. There are very few artists who use this method, probably because it’s difficult and time consuming. He is a self taught expert whose work speak for themselves.

His actual subject matter is varied; he is so versatile that every one can find something they like among his works. I like the sea scenes, especially the beach pebbles that glisten with the sea, but I also like the portraits, but that’s because I always favour the figurative work.

I love his seaside scenes
I'd had not heard of this painting medium before, very interesting. As for the artist, I agree his portraits are very nice, but the 'wet pebbles' paintings are amazing, they are photo-realistic in quality!!
ReplyDeletethink I agree..............I like the wet pebbles the best, they are quite amazing
DeleteIncredible work in a difficult medium!
