STORY

The painting is torn. It cannot be repaired without leaving a mark.

The same is true of the species on the verge of extinction. We as humanity still have a chance to put together the pieces of fading life. Yes, scars will remain, marks on fur, shells, chitin and skin, but life will go on. This is the main focus of my collection of torn paintings they are about preserving a lives that have been torn.

This watercolour painting was made on cold pressed acid free 300 gsm Arches paper. It was then glued to the wood panel and the tear in the paper was covered in gold leaf. The fine details were added with the help of coloured pencils and Pigma Micron pens filled with permanent and archival Pigma™ ink. The textured elements were made with help of Liquitex heavy gesso mixed with Winsor and Newton Professional acrylic paint. A clear coat of gloss varnish was applied to the the gold leaf to preserve its vibrancy and prevent tarnishing process. Natural wood float frame was sealed with wood varnish. The entire painting is protected with three layers. of GOLDEN satin archival varnish. The painting is hand signed by me.
