Original artwork description
I am facinated by patterns and shapes in nature and love the movement, reflections and shimmer of fish swimming in shoals.
For this piece I created a watercolour painting with different patterns and shapes, in blues, greens and aqua, and a small painting in golds, yellow, pink and orange.
Once the fish had been cut out into various sizes I painted more lines, dots and shapes on them with light blue and lime green metallic watercolours so that they reflect and shimmer in different lights, and directions of light.
Each fish shaped by hand and mounted on a small foam board plinth to enhance the three dimensional effect and this helps to cast interesting shadows depending on where the light is coming from.
The height of the plinths is higher on the edges of the piece and they get lower as the fish swirl down, (inwards) towards the golden fish.
I take a long time positioning my forms until I'm really happy with the whole, and then they are fixed to plain, heavy watercolour paper ready for framing.
The whole piece is framed in a glazed (glass) white deep box frame.
Bespoke colour combinations, sizes, and frame sizes are available so please message me if you have any questions about a commission piece.
