This is a close study of water patterns on the ground as water meanders round troughs and boulders. Water always finds its own level and in doing so, the gradient stays by the times of colour and texture depends on the type of surface the water rides over.
The acrylic background in varying tones of blue, strikes out in contrast by the embroidery in white and blue silk. There is also a refractive element that shimmers in different colours due to the application of iridescent fibres. The varying stitches add more depth with the circular shape and swirling pattern.

Mounted in white card and frame in white wood.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

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.

Textile fiber

Technique consisting in creating a work based on natural or synthetic textile fibers and which can be decorated by adding color or material.

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.
