Asima - Painting

"Asima"

24"x30"

Medium: Acrylic paint on ricepaper mounted to canvas
Process: I used one of my pattern linocuts printed on ricepaper as a starting point and attached that to the canvas with gel medium. Then I alternated between painting her and the additional pattern in the background.Between each pattern layer parts of the pattern were accentuated with gel medium for more three dimensionality.  The final piece was spray-varnished for protection from UV. 
Timeframe: I began this painting in July and finished it at the end of September.
Price: $1800 (CAD)
