Original artwork description:

Golden and Liquidex pro acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edges, 9.5 x 13.25 in., 24 x 34 cm
Every now and again I decide to work on this amazing thick parchment paper. Here I want to work with face, eyes, and expressive loose brush stroke. The subject I took from an earlier large painting of mine, I just wanted her face... The title of course refers to the year we all had to mask up!
This is done on a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a thick parchment like paper, strong, yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. The close up picture is to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress, and me with the painting for perspective.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Contact me.
