Ocean Alchemy 3

40.5 X 30.5cm mixed media on 300gsm paper mounted on canvas, ready to hang. 
Framed in natural wood Float frame. 
 
Incorporating the colours and rhythms of the ocean, gold and using the concepts of Kintsugi, that is hope and healing, I have created this new technique featuring imitation gold leaf, layers of watercolours, inks, acrylics and ground natural pigments.
 
Fibres and charcoal pigments create an intriguing texture in the first layers. It has a double chromatic effect which changes with the direction of light.
