Original artwork description:

This is the second of my Jonathan Livingston paintings, (Jonathan Livingston Seagull is my all time favourite book), and for this one the initial painting is in watercolours, although the lighter seagulls are from the lightest painting that I did with Farrow and Ball colours in the last painting.
The cut seagulls are in a completely different arrangement so it's just the name that is the same!

Each of the birds has been cut from the paintings and decoratively arranged in a graduating colour square in the centre of the frame.
They are attached to heavy watercolour paper within a white glazed deep box frame

The result is a graduated green and aqua blue modern relief design revealing individual seagulls on closer inspection, with different shadows cast from the up-turned wings depending on the direction of the light.

Materials used:

Watercolours, Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion, acrylics, and gold ink on watercolour paper, in a white glazed (glass) deep box frame
