Original artwork description:

I am still exploring the combination of gouache and ink together with other media.

I prepared the cotton rag paper with some gesso to give the work more texture - please look at the detail photographs. It was a long process of adding colour, taking it off, adding it, getting through the gouache to the underlying ink.

I also used some beautiful warm colours to give the work a glow. To give it even more densitiy I added this time a touch of red oil stick paint.

I sell Earth with a white mat!

The actual artwork in inches is 7.9'' x 7.9''. With mat it is 11.8'' x 11.8''.

Materials used:

gesso, shellack ink, gouache, oil pastel, oil stick
