Original artwork description:

acrylic colour on handmade Thai mulberry paper (kada sa), deckled edge, 21 x 31 in., 55 x 77 cm.
While working on something else I found this sketch I did years ago of Burmese style Buddha image, statue.
I'm interested in creating the rustic, dusty look one can find in some of the old temples. And the painting should have a parchment look and feel to it. Gold is a colour often associated with these things so I started with gold.... paint that is... the rest just flowed out.
The Burmese Buddha image tends to be of white marble like stone, hence the white instead of a more common gold statue.
I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a thick parchment like paper, strong yet pliable. The paper is made to this size to get the unique, uneven deckled edges which adds to the overall textural effect. This page is strongly textured so the textural effect is even more. The close up pictures are to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
I used romanised pali language in the title to keep it in context with the ‘Buddhist’ theme... Buddha image is the translation.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel, an architectural scene, an icon, portrait? Contact me.
