Original artwork description:
In ancient China cranes are a symbol of longevity, focus, discipline and vigilance. They are celebrated as highly monogamous birds and form bonds that last a lifetime. They represent a soaring spirit, health and happiness
Inspired by the 18th Century Italian painter Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining), who became a court painter to the Emperor of China and brought the Western style of perspective to Chinese painting.
The rock formations reveal elements of Chinese Ming style painting with its spaciousness and natural depiction of landscape elements. The most favoured colour scheme for shading these rocks was blue and green, the two mineral pigments derived from natural stone deposits.
This artwork is painted on 300mg Arches Finest Smooth Watercolour Paper
The painting is mounted with a neutral card with a black core.
This painting is custom framed in black and gold and has museum quality non-reflective glass.
