Snow does its magic in the landscape. I am lucky to be living near a protected public park where nature is at its best. The lake attracts many water birds and the scene is always relaxing and serene to look at. Snow time is inspirational, the textures, the colours and forms are enhanced by the pureness of the white. The skeletal branches of the bushes are covered by delicate boughs as if they were powered with sugar.

This piece is a water colour, enhanced with silken embroidery in white and silver thread. It is mounted in artic white acid free window mount, to fit a frame 30x40cm.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Embroidery

Technique which consists in adding on a fabric a flat or relief pattern made of simple threads, sometimes by integrating materials such as sequins, pearls or even precious stones.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
