Coneflower

Mixed media- acrylic paint and carving on poplar board.

5” 3.5” x .75”

My process began by layering gesso on a poplar board. I then made and observational drawing with my carving tool. After the initial carving was done I layered paint and carving until the painting was finished.

All of my paintings are finished with an archival varnish to ensure longevity.

I recommend putting the painting in a space without direct sunlight to ensure color preservation.
