Three levels of light
Painted in an impressionist spirit, built on canvas with acrylic and crowned with enamel: that makes pictures combining atmosphere and gloss. If you want such acrylic-on-canvas paintings with enamel for sale, you are after light that is not just painted but also reflected.
Acrylic lays out the atmosphere: soft skies, dabbed greens, shimmering water. On that base, enamel sets hard points of gloss that look like sun reflections. The result is an alternation of muted and glowing light that pure acrylic painting rarely reaches.

Canvas in the living space
The canvas looks friendly and sturdy. Above a chest of drawers or in a stairwell with changing light, the points of gloss play their game. A light wood frame suits the painted summer tone.
Pointers for choosing
Check the gloss application for freedom from cracks, and read whether a protective coat was applied. A soft dusting brush instead of a damp rag spares the surface. One last tip: if possible, view the picture in daylight and in lamplight. How the points of gloss move tells a lot about the care taken with the enamel, and the thickness of the paint layer plays a part too.
