David Bottini is a contemporary painter whose paintings are often filled with dappled light � sparkling on the surface of streams, highlighting paths and glinting off of bright autumn leaves.
His paintings are rendered in acrylic, but in a painstaking method involving layers and layers of glazes; a method inspired by his love of the luminous translucent effects of old master oil painting.
These characteristics, unfortunately, don�t come across well in photographs, so we must content ourselves with the superficial appearance of his work, which is still fascinating.
There is a video interview with Bottini on YouTube, in which he discusses some of his technique.
