Description:
'Sea Side II'
Imagine sitting on the beach, somewhere in a quiet spot. I hear the seagulls, the waves crashing on the beach. Sun reflecting of the ocean. A gentle breeze that's playing with my hair. The smell of the ocean in my nose. It's my happy place.
This painting goes really well with it's counterpart, Sea side I. Adding it's larger counterpart 'In Flight' would make a gorgeous display.
Materials:
This painting was painted using alcohol inks on Yupo paper. Yupo paper is a special synthetic paper, developed specifically for art. It is non porous, making it very easy for the inks to flow freely. It doesn't absorb fluids, therefor it doesn't buckle. It is very thick, and hard to rip.
Texture paste and pigments were used to ad depth and texture.
Alcohol inks are highly pigmented, alcohol based inks. They can be used like other media like oils, acrylics and watercolors. By layering the inks, and by using different techniques, the artist can create a feeling of depth and flow. The thing that is different about these inks is how unpredictable they are, and to what extend one can control them. Guiding the inks takes a certain level of skill, but also the ability to accept their unruliness. I think that’s why I love them so much!
It is finished with several layers of UV protection and varnish to help prevent fading.
