Ultimately I want to produce a pleasing piece of art but it's the intrinsic beauty of the objects themselves that is paramount. I'm not aiming for a photographic representation, but my own distinctive and hopefully exciting interpretation of the fish.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOil and pastel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 34.5 x 26.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout the artist:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI live in Worthing and work in a studio at the end of my garden… I tend to paint objects that I find beautiful so nature has always featured very heavily in my work. I am fascinated by details so will spend hours examining what I will be painting before starting work. For \"Sardines” it was the colour variations, the individual markings and the way the light and shadow played on them throughout the day that I took my time to study. When I feel I've observed every aspect of my subject as best I can, I dive straight into the work, hoping thereby to ensure that the final outcome retains a certain \"freshness\". In general, I don't usually undertake any preliminary sketches as I find that spontaneity has a power all of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clare Sprawson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55614272078200,"sku":"26AO45","price":600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/8014\/6476\/files\/ClareSprawson-Sardines.jpg?v=1784734693","url":"https:\/\/atelierbrighton.co.uk\/products\/26ao45","provider":"Atelier Beside the Sea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
