SIGNA TURE TECHNIQUE


In some cases Rolf covers the canvas with a flat colour that is the complementary opposite to the overriding colour of the scene he’s about to paint. For example, he might paint a red background to go behind a predominantly greenish landscape. He works first with colour then with shape and detail.


With this painting he went on to progressively add darker and darker colours, moving towards the bottom of the canvas, blocking in shapes and hitting these shapes with snippets of gleaming light in the right places. His approach means that the work seems to emerge gradually from the canvas, finally transforming into a finished composition at the hands of a modern master.
