How is this created?
To create these works, I first choose my colour palette and then spend many days / weeks painting a large stack of acid free art papers. For this I use acrylic paints - sometimes very thickly applied, sometimes in thin fluid washes - sometimes with a brush and sometimes with a palette knife. I create as much texture in these papers as I can and I love the way the paint behaves on paper.
Once I have a stack of gorgeous papers - these become my 'paints' and I begin tearing them into pieces and arranging them (and re-arranging) then on the canvas until I find shape combinations I like. Once I'm happy with a section I 'glue' it the canvas with pure acrylic medium (the base component of acrylic paint) and work around the canvas.
Once the canvas is finished I seal everything with multiple protective coats of clear acrylic and satin varnish.
