Dutch Delft Tile ACEO - Child's Game
www.etsy.com/listing/59372022/dutch-childs-game-original-...
I handpainted this small piece in cobalt blue tones in the style of the traditional Delft Blue porcelain tile designs. Handpainted on a tattered old page of the 1921 antique Dutch encyclopedia, Oosthoek's Geïllustreerde Encyclopaedie, this classic image honors the original famous Delft tiles.
I handpainted this original ACEO with respect to the famous Dutch tradition dating back as early as 1512, in which Delftware artists paint porcelain tiles by hand with squirrel- and martin-haired brushes. In the tradition, their paint is black, but contains cobalt oxide that turns blue in a chemical reaction during the firing process. Their paint is water-based, so the artists can thin it like watercolor for shading. Here in my painting, I've used a similar shading technique with watercolor. The famous Delft Blue porcelain tiles are still produced today by prestigious makers such as De Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (The Royal Delft Museum) and independent Dutch artists in the city of Delft, The Netherlands.
I live just 15 miles from the heart of Delft, where I met some Royal Delft Museum artists and talked with them as they painted.
ACEO: "Art Cards Editions & Originals," a 2.5 x 3.5" trading card sized work of art. Art trading cards were historically traded between artists, and are now very fashionable as gifts and collectors' items!
I hope you enjoy my original work! Dank u wel!
