With antiqued textures and a pastel finish, this sepia-toned piece works beautifully with an impasto finish.
I turned this large first-edition fine-art print (edition 1/5) into a unique mixed-media piece. Giclee printed on the highest quality Breathing Color Elegance Velvet fine-art paper; this piece is fixed to a deep cradle board, then enhanced with hand-painted gel impasto, giving a texture of thick brushstrokes with a gloss finish. The board's edges are hand-stenciled with an embossed design and painted in burnt umber.
No need to frame - the impasto protects the print from gentle handling, dust, etc.
Artwork size: 40x40cm and 4.3cm deep. Ready to hang with D-rings and string attached to the rear, inset so the board hangs flat to the wall.
Photos show the front and a side angle, along with the digital image, before printing and embellishing. If you would like to see more images, please enquire.
Baby kākā is also available as small, medium and large unframed limited-edition fine-art prints on request.
Many of my original paintings are embellished with pearlescent accents. I also embellish the fine-art prints made from these originals, creating a unique piece of art in the process.
