Description Oil colours! It has been a while since I last painted with them... This painting is also like two months old. Or something like that. Anyhow, I bet there is many who recognize this! It's a modification/variation (sorry my English is not the best) of Caspar David Friedrich's famous painting, Wanderer above the Mists (1818). This was made in an art history course in school.

I enjoyed painting this (though it still didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it) because I started to found my own painting style!!
My favourite part was the clouds, there is no doubt about it!
And least favourite... the rock. (Koska se näytti aluks isolta kakkaläjältä kun siinä oli pelkkää ruskeeta) I don't like using pure black, it is so shiny Or it could have been the man too, his coat yuck.

Yes you managed to pick a key paintings from the Romantic era. Its actually called 'Wanderer Above the Sea' by Caspar David Friedrich, painted in 1818.

Yup... Is it really 'above the sea'? I crossed only the "mists-version" while searching but I can understand why it could be 'above the sea'...

I'm a great fan of Friedrich, and I think you did a great work here in this redemption to this classic! Kudos to you!
