This cheerful little piece of original art, was based on the image of a tiny Greek fishing boat I saw bobbing about in the harbour, on a rather breezy but sunny January morning.<\/p>\n
It’s entitled ‘Cut-out Boat’ as it was created with a combination of monoprinting and cut-paper collage.<\/p>\n
The monoprint background is a lovely watery blue-green, with lively marks and textures barely visible as a result of the print process. I worked over areas of the monoprint with translucent blue-green fluid acrylic paint to enrich the colours and create more depth.<\/p>\n
Whilst monoprinting the background, I worked on a collection of hand-decorated papers in a variety of colours and some of these have been used to create the boat and it’s colourful cargo.<\/p>\n
A little hand-stamping and judiciously applied painted detail completed the process – along with the addition of the seagull and the jaunty red mooring buoy.<\/p>\n
The collage was created on watercolour paper with lashings of archival matte medium and given a final coat of clear UV varnish.<\/p>\n
The painting is for sale unframed and unmounted for you to frame as you wish – I think it would look great with a generously wide white mount, in a simple frame.<\/p>\n
