Yellow Starfish

Living near the Central QLD Coast of Australia, means that inspiration is never far away. The ocean and waters near Yeppoon are some of the best in the world and sealife abounds. This colourful starfish is one of a set of three in a series of starfish paintings, painted by myself in an original way. The three primary colours are always eye catching and would suit any room, including a child's room. I used colourful metallic watercolour paints to highlight areas of the starfish, which gives a beautiful shimmer effect, best appreciated in person.

In her life, Alana has created art using a variety of different media; including oils, acrylics, pastels, pen, ink, charcoal, prints, sculpture, pottery, mixed media and 3D design.

However, after attending a beginners’ watercolour course many years ago, she was bitten by the watercolour bug. She continues to experiment with watercolours, enjoying the challenges they provide.

Alana prefers painting Landscapes, Seascapes, Animals, Still Life and People. Her traditional, representational watercolours have a modern flair and capture the essence of the contemporary rural and tropical coastal Australian lifestyle.

Inspired by the talents of fellow Australian Watercolourists Jenny MacNaughton, Graham W. Smith and John Newman, Alana continues to experiment and develop her style.

Alana only uses the highest quality Windsor and Newton Professional Artist paints on Arches Watercolour paper, to ensure her paintings are of archival quality.
