Original artwork description:

The pheasant has become a favourite subject of mine and I had fun blending the gorgeous woven materials I had with the paper and paint.

I start the canvas with a rough pencil sketch and then I add the coloured paper before building up the layers with acrylic paint. The last thing I add are the embellishments of thread, beads, buttons and glitter to pick out or highlight certain areas.

Materials used:

Mixed media collage: acrylics, paper, thread, beads, glitter, material, buttons
