Moon Light is a reproduction of an original painting by the English artist Sebastian Pether (1790–1844).

Made in 2017, this canvas is my first oil painting. Over four months, at three hours a day, I studied perspective, depth of field and several oil painting techniques.

A first oil painting, studied over four months

Moon Light is a reproduction of a painting by the English artist Sebastian Pether (1790–1844), a painter known for moonlit landscapes.

Made in 2017 on an 80 × 60 cm canvas, it is DAMSSILI's first oil painting. Over four months, at three hours a day, he studied perspective, depth of field and several oil painting techniques.

He photographed the canvas at every stage; the twelve steps, from the turquoise sky to the final details, are shown in the journal article “Moon Light, step by step”.
