Oil Seascape Painting- Reflection in Okavango River
OIL ON CANVAS PAINTING
This is a Seascape painting of a part of the Okavango River in Botswana, Southern Africa.
I was struck by the beautiful reflections in the water and I could not resist the urge to capture it in paint.
The Okavango region from where the river gets its name is a famous tourist destination in Botswana that is home to a wide variety of animals and wildlife.
It is painted with Oil Paint using a palette knife creating a lot of movement. This is known as the Impasto Technique and is one of several Oil Painting Techniques artists use.
“An artist needn’t be a clergyman or a church warden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.
