Original artwork description:

I am facinated by patterns and shapes in nature and love the movement, reflections and shimmer of fish swimming in shoals.

This is my fifth version of "The Golden One" and once again I created a watercolour painting with different patterns and shapes, in aquas and greens, and a small painting in golds, yellow and orange.

Each fish is shaped by hand and mounted on a small foam board plinth to enhance the three dimensional effect, and this helps to cast interesting shadows depending on where the light is coming from.

I take a long time positioning my forms until I'm really happy with the whole, and then they are fixed to plain, heavy watercolour paper ready for framing.

The whole piece is framed in a glazed (perspex) white deep box frame.

Bespoke colour combinations, sizes, and frame sizes are available so please message me if you have any questions about a commission piece.

Materials used:

Watercolour and metallic watercolour on watercolour paper, foam board, and a white deep box frame glazed with perspex
