Description

The mountain scene of my Swiss Alps Impasto painting is based on alpine mountain composition but is made up from three different and combined views. I took a best feature from each of my chosen views and made it into one picture.

I liked the pinkish sky in particular but did not want it to dominate the painting although I did carry the pinks forward to reflect light on the path and surrounding areas.

In the foreground, you will see many different impressions of wild flowers and a small track which leads to a group of tall yellow and green trees with some red in them. You can follow this line of trees around the left side of this painting to the far distant mountain tops.

I had not realised I had done this until I had finished. So I must have done it subconsciously and perhaps with a Monet influence as he used to use this technique of taking the viewer’s eye further back into the painting and especially with trees and other foliage.

The mid distant mountains of purple and blue are there to suggest depth and coolness from the setting sun. The heat from both of these mid distant mountains is receding. The far distant mountains are purposely more in focus to highlight their detail as they are still being clipped by the sunset.

This mountain landscape artwork was completed in one sitting. And mainly with a painting knife and occasionally with a brush to smooth out sharp ridges of paint in areas where I did not want this such as the sky. Sharp paint ridges were a result of my painting knife’s movement marks.

Purposely, I wanted to start and finish it all in one go so as not to lose or embellish the idea in mind. It was painted in my studio in Wales. Reference sketches and photographs were used to create the composition.

I used artist’s quality heavy bodied acrylic paint on a small panel.

Soon after completing this painting I sold it to a private buyer in Switzerland but I retained the copyright to continue selling reproduction prints of it of which it seems to be quite popular.
