Yellow hair Painting

Yellow hair 2017 $75 acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edges, 10 x 13.5 in., 25.5 x 34.5cm Every now and again I decide to work on this amazing thick parchment paper. Here I just want to work with the blotter effect and a beautiful blue/ turquoise with a yellow contrast. The subject is from a sketch I did and found in my collection of rough sketches. This is a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a thick parchment like paper, strong, yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. Note the uneven edges are not present in the print. The close up picture is to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress, and the original sketch. Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Contact me. When considering framing bear in mind to not cover up the deckled edges. This is one of the specialties of the painting, one of its charms. It is best displayed framed with a cut mat board around the painting so as not to cover the edges, thereby putting some space between the art and the glass and bringing depth to the framed art. It can also be framed simply with backing board and pressed with glass over the front without causing damage.
