A pleasure to paint,
a pleasure to dig myself into the topic,
a pleasure to learn more about these natives,
their lives, their habits, their struggle, their traditions.

"Eskimo Fisherman"
Sculpt by Romain van den Bogeart

The project was sold to a private collector.
Thank you for your support in my craft, work, art and passion!

Hope you like him!
Keep on happy painting!

    Superb work! The choice of colors, different materials and snow effect really fit the scene for Eskimo. Look forward to seeing your SBS article on MV site very much!
