Original artwork description:

Original expressive Abstract landscape ‘Overlap’ from a series of experimental watercolour and ink abstract works

From a base that involved drawing and the manipulation of the movement of inks and watercolour in water grew this abstract. Layers of watercolour, pencil and ink are applied in a variety of ways, and the work is further embellished with marks and scratches to create this expressive abstract work. In this work that the shapes and forms take their reference from stones and boulders, or monoliths. Inspired by mark making, and using various tools and materials, this painting brings together colour, design, composition and values to create an abstract which hints at an idea of a landscape with monolithic stones or sculpture, but is essentially open to the viewer's interpretation.

This 24cm x 30cm (9.5" x 12") Artwork was painted in February 2018.
