Stephen Sebastian - "Sailing" !SOLD!

!SOLD! Oil on Canvas 40” x 60” “As an artist, I work in a variety of mediums including painting. I am constantly experimenting with new materials and tools to help keep my artwork fresh and interesting. I strive in my paintings to achieve a sense of fluid realism while maintaining visual structure. My paintings are completed on fine woven stretched canvas using the highest quality oil pigments, mediums, and varnishes. I stretch and prime my own canvas and apply multiple coats of varnish for protection after completion. Strong design and use of light have always been fundamental for all of my artwork. With my paintings, I want to expand these fundamentals to include a fluid rhythmic expression and simplicity in my brushwork. To help me achieve this rhythmic expression I often listen to music fitting to the flow of the design as I work. I will most often do numerous preliminary sketches before I begin work on the actual canvas. The graphic tablet has become my sketching pad of choice
