Sitting down at the market, to rest, to eat, Jatujak Weekend market, Bangkok Print

acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edge, 10 x 13.5 in., 25 x 34 cm The painting is inspired by typical street scenes I see in Bangkok , I place I regularly return to. Jatujak Weekend Market is a major attraction in Bangkok, Thailand… It is said to be the largest outdoor market in the world. It is certainly busy, crowded, dynamic, animated, gentle and friendly. I find the place very inspiring for painting ideas. My focus here is on the body language, dining and resting activity, and the contrast with the background clothing shop, reflects well the nature of this market. Here I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a 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. My paper supplier has her shop at this market as well…. The close up picture is to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress and me with the painting for perspective.
