Richard Rowan is renowned for his distinctive reverse painting technique, which challenges conventional methods. He begins by meticulously painting the foreground with intricate detail and then completes the background. This approach, coupled with the use of glass as a protective layer instead of traditional varnish, imparts a strikingly glossy finish to his work. Although the surface appears flat, the painting seems to float when framed in a box frame. This medium allows for smoother gradients and a richer color spectrum than canvas, bringing his depictions of natural phenomena vividly to life.
