Title: Acrylic painting Fast river in the forest Mykhailo Patskan Description: NoAAA4901The acrylic painting on cardboard titled "Fast River in the Forest" captures the raw energy and dynamic flow of a river as it rushes through a vibrant woodland landscape. Using a palette rich in saturated tones of blue, green, yellow, and purple, the artist presents a scene that is alive with motion, light, and contrasting textures. The brushwork is expressive, with confident strokes that communicate both the turbulence of the river and the calm, looming presence of the surrounding trees and cliffs. At the center of the composition is the river, painted in flowing layers of cerulean, aqua, and navy, interspersed with white highlights that shimmer like foam on fast-moving water. The artist successfully creates the illusion of speed and direction through the application of short, sweeping brushstrokes, which suggest currents tumbling over submerged rocks and cascading into deeper pools. The water's vibrancy contrasts beautifully with the darker, denser colors of the forest that hems it in, emphasizing its liveliness and clarity. On either side of the river rise dense banks of forest, painted in lush, overlapping strokes of deep green and shadowy violet. These trees, although somewhat abstract in form, convey a great sense of density and depth, suggesting an ancient, wild forest untouched by civilization. In contrast to the cool tones of the water and the darker greens of the foliage, the trees on the left side of the painting are rendered in golden yellows and fiery oranges. This burst of warmth suggests sunlight filtering through the canopy, igniting the foliage in a blaze of autumnal color. The effect is dramatic, as if the sun is either rising or setting behind the hills, catching the treetops in a fleeting moment of brilliance. The artist's use of color throughout the piece is particularly effective. Bold and vibrant, yet harmoniously balanced, the palette draws the eye across the painting, inviting the viewer to trace the course of the river as it winds into the distance. The juxtaposition of warm and cool tones-yellows and oranges against blues and purples-creates a powerful visual tension that adds drama to the composition. Meanwhile, the varied textures and thicknesses of paint contribute a tactile quality, giving the impression of mossy banks, tree bark, and tumbling water.*** ABOUT THIS PAINTING **** TITLE: "Fast river in the forest"* ARTISTS: Mykhailo Patskan* SIZE: 20x30 cm/'7.87x11.81 inches' * MEDIUM: acrylic, cardboard* HAND PAINTED: Original painting from our collection* CONDITION: Photos provide accurate information about the product.About the artists: Mykhailo Stepanovych Patskan Born on January 18, 1961 in the city of Khust.
