He paints basically with canvas and oil.G.Shishkov`s paintings are in realistic style with romantic shade.He draws the Sea in its different states,but artist`s favourite theme is the stormy and violent Sea.He often visits towns and villages that are by the Black Sea and he makes a lot of freehand drawings.Except for the Sea G.Shishkov also loves to paint the Nature in its different seasons and the Forest landscapes.Lately it`s been an enormous pleasure for the artist and a challenge to paint a pictures with biblical themes.Because he pays too much attention on the details sometimes he may works over a painting for 15-20 days.
