Original Oil Painting with objects arranged in a classic manner, resembling the style of the old Dutch masters. The reason why this painting is made on a marine ply wood is its durability, and that it can be prepared to a smooth surface to work on. A canvas would be too coarse, although it is a much loved medium, it would only give the 'impression' of detail as most would not bother to have real linen. Different layers of oil paint are placed in glazes of pigments over one another to achieve depth and increase the illusion of dimension. All this takes a lot longer and increases the drying times. Yet history has proven that it is the longest lasting art technique, with no deterioration of colours, backed up it up by many centuries old paintings in national galleries, when the finest oil-paint pigments are used.
