Original artwork description:

Iris is an original painting by Amy Devlin. My process starts with taking the photographs I work from, I like to experiment with angles and light in the photographing. Every inch of the canvas has multiple layers on to build up the feeling of light, water and body, every layer focusing in on more detail until there is a balance of tight detail and watery fluidity. Every summer I do a number of photo shoots and then spend the rest of the year exploring them from different angles. Bubbles are incredibly fun to paint and I love how when the model breathes out as they come to the surface you get the fantastic large bubbles forming.
