Original artwork description:

This is a composition based on Jatujak week end market, Bangkok's massive outdoor market. On my last visit there I took so many photos of the crowd. Here goes a composition from those images.
There are so many more of these poses I want to put to paper….
I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It is a thick parchment paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. Then each page has its own irregular shape which shows as in the base on this painting … my supplier also has her shop at JJ market…
The close up pictures are to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress.

Materials used:

acrylic colour on handmade Thai mulberry paper (kada sa), deckled edge
