close up of flower - contrast between background and flower
 
Oils painted on 300 lb (686 gm) Saunders Waterford paper primed with Gelatine using LeFranc and Bourgeois oil paint.
Oil paint thinned with Zest-it brush cleaner and dilutant, was used to paint the background, colours were added whilst wet, giving a watercolour effect.
The Anemone flowers were under-painted using thinned oil paint as above and then oil paint and Zest-it Clear Painting medium to paint the petals, the texture of the paper can be clearly seen in the above close up, which is larger than life size. Now available as a Greetings Card.
