Little Copper Joy

This elegant floral painting uses acrylics in a watercolour expression - so the lines and layers of colour are soft and fluid. Layered with metallic copper, charcoal and pastel accents. The metallic copper has a lustre that shines in well lit conditions - otherwise presents as a deep burnished warm brown.
The flowers are hand painted translucent paper.

A layer of varnish seals the whole artwork.

It is part of the Wild Series and there are many artworks in this series.
