Original Artwork Painting, Oil on Canvas

Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Elizabeth Williams is a contemporary British painter based in Spain. After training at the City Lit in Holborn, London for a Fine Art degree, she paints in oils focusing on the on the sea and landscapes. Williams creates abstract expressionist/romantic impressionist oil paintings which reflect the elemental tone of the natural world. By the use of carefree brushstrokes or the palette knife Elizabeth's paintings are inspired by capturing clouds that hug you, rocks on a shore, or a crashing wave from a distant view point or rolling towards a shore line. She paints the weather, sea, light and wind with texture and energy.

Her work is richly textured in parts, combined with smooth blended glazes of brushwork, to suggest depth and movement. Striving to allow the paint to 'have a mind of its own' works well with her looser style, that the confines of realism can oppose, allowing her atmospheric and emotional pieces to come alive. Williams's work is mostly of seascape landscapes combined encompassing the weather in all seasons. Her paintings can vary specifically for commissioned works in large or small spaces and has been sold over the years both internationally and at home in Spain to clients and collectors of her work.
