Oil Paintings
Ephemeral Studio is synonymous with exquisite oil paintings, showcasing both captivating landscapes and evocative portraits. The studio harnesses the allure of traditional alla prima techniques, coupled with the depth of indirect methods, to create art pieces that transcend the ordinary.
Our approach to oil painting is meticulous, often involving an ‘alla prima’ stage where the initial composition and colours are swiftly laid down in one sitting. We then transition to ‘indirect’ methods, painstakingly building up layers over many hours to create a stunning depth and complexity in our work. This fusion of techniques adds subtle nuances and fine details to our pieces, bringing each subject to life in a captivating and poignant manner.
Every piece at Ephemeral Studio is crafted using ‘Michael Harding’ oil paints, known for their unrivalled quality and vibrancy. We work primarily on wooden boards, prized for their durability and the unique texture they lend to the artwork. Upon completion, each painting is encased in a custom wood carved frame, chosen to complement and enhance the artwork within.
Our expertise extends beyond traditional oil painting to include abstract art. These abstract oil paintings are a visual feast, showcasing the mastery of colour, form, and texture that defines our studio’s style. Each abstract piece is a sensory journey, inviting viewers to interpret and experience the art on a deeply personal level.
Whether it’s a lifelike oil portrait, a serene landscape, or an abstract exploration of colour and form, Ephemeral Studio delivers artworks that captivate and inspire. Join us on this artistic journey as we continue to push the boundaries of oil painting, making each creation an enduring testament to our dedication to excellence.
