Mikolajskie, 2021

The painting is called "Mikołajskie" because it was inspired by the Masurian lake, which is often windy, which is favorable for sailing.
The work is painted with Winston & Newton oil paints on a professional 300 gram cotton canvas. The edges of the picture are painted black, so the frame is not necessary. For transport, it is packed in bubble wrap and put in a box.

Oil paints: Essentially, the recipe for producing these paints did not change for over 300 years, until the early 20th century. The first important change was the start of "packing" in lead-tin tubes (which allowed for trouble-free transfer of paints outdoors - this technological solution significantly influenced the development of impressionism), and then aluminum. In the course of further development, in order to reduce the price of paints, most of the natural pigments were gradually replaced with synthetic pigments (this process was initiated in the 19th century and was completed in the 1950s). At the end of the 20th century, a technological breakthrough was made, creating water-based oil paints, which made many artists return to this technique because these paints became less toxic and did not sensitize allergy artists such as Wyspiański.
