About the artwork
My watercolour version/copy of Giovanni Battista Salvi's, popularly known as Sassoferrato (1609–1685) painting of the Virgin in Prayer. There is something about how Sassoferrato presented Our Lady in this portrait that draws you to her. Painting this was a challenge. This one is my third attempt - getting the same shade of blue had not been easy especially because the pigment ultramarine is very granulated. I found schmincke is the least granulated compared to other brands, but I still had to be careful of every layer (and mix) I apply to get the right shade and shadow. I got there in the end. I think. At least I hope Sassoferrato will not object too much. Matte varnish protected. Certificate of Authenticity. Free UK Delivery. Your painting will be well packed and protected.

I just so loved the medium that years on, I bought books of a few favourite artists from whom I learnt and develop my own style. However, it was only after some two or so decades after having first used the medium that I started to paint seriously, on and off, in between my fulltime job as a CAD drafter.
