Artist
Layne Arguimbau grinds his own pigments from powders, makes his own
grounds of gesso for panels and lead grounds for canvas. He cooks his
own oil-resinous mediums in the tradition of the Flemish Masters from
1450 to the 1650, presently using extremely hard amber, sandarac and
rosin varnishes. Painting in a traditional north light studio, He is
a light effect painter with deep luminous transparencies, all of
which give his paintings a rich old world quality.
Layne
paints a variety of subject matter, specializing in marines and
classic yachts. His commissions include portraits of yachts,
views, portraits, animals. Commissions are all subject to an approved
oil study, a visual contract, prior to the start of any painting, for
reassurance for the client as well as a fixed objective for the
artist.
