Have you enjoyed seeing all these fine etchings so far? There are a few more left that we can’t wait to show you before they’re all gone! These masterful etchings are hand-crafted by various artists, all incredibly skilled in their own style. Let’s take a look now, shall we?
Isn’t it amazing how the reflection of the clouds resembles the look and feel of Claude Monet, the famous Impressionistic painter? Believe it or not, it’s actually an etching by David Hunter that is painted with watercolor. A graceful egret flies by the colorful marsh. It’s as if the dreamy appearance of the water will wash your troubles away.
Even though this fine artwork is an etching, the perspective and play of texture make it pop off the page as if it’s a three-dimensional sculpture! The beautiful wooded scenery by Stephan Whittle reminds one of a whimsical fairy tale as if the viewer has stepped into the world of Snow White or Red Riding Hood. It’s a great piece of art to display in the living room, bedroom, or study area.
Here we transport from the magical forest into the urban depths of a big city. This powerful aquatint etching by Martha Hayden has everything that modern decor goes for. Its clean lines, deep shadows, and sense of height beckon the viewer to ponder all the thrills and opportunities that urban living has to offer.
If the city heebie-jeebies are starting to get the better of you, not to worry. We’re back in the country with this peaceful watercolor etching by Carolyn A. Cohen. Its soothing pastel tones are sure to calm even the most anxious folks, in spite of the fact that a storm seems to be coming onto the scene. This storm doesn’t seem to be the menacing kind, however. It is more akin to the relaxing rumbles of thunder and rain in the distance on a summer afternoon.
This gorgeous etching by Raphael Soyer is a bold reminder of the best qualities displayed by humans - the power of love. It’s an excellent gift for that special someone you know who has an anniversary or wedding coming up. Or, it could simply represent a fond memory or serve as tasteful artwork for the savvy collector to admire. Whatever your reasons, it is a wise choice to invest in.
If you’re looking for more masterful etchings, don’t forget to see them now on Seaside Art Gallery’s website. But if you’re shopping for something of your very own, you might want to hurry! This popular art genre is selling out quickly.
It’s the truth: life would not exist without light. From the greatest to the smallest, light is essential for most living creatures on Earth to survive.
One of an artist’s greatest achievements is depicting the mastery of light in paintings. There’s no such thing as a pigment in “light” color, so painters must diligently express the illusion of light by employing a complexity of colors that depict placements of shadows, sunny areas, reflections, and so on to the naked eye.
Majestic and awe-inspiring, Lorraine Dey’s acrylic paintings harness nature’s extraordinary moments on the canvas. Her award winning work is showcased far and wide in the United States, Canada, and even Finland.
