Folk Art Resin Collection

Here are some examples of my Folk Art Collection

First I print onto xuan paper with acrylic paint, using Indian printing blocks. When this is dry I paint the background with watercolours or acrylic inks, using a wet on wet technique, so that the colours blend.

​

Because of the acrylic paint, when it dries, the sheep colour shows through.

Then I might add more painting details to the picture, like the decoration on the fox. or gold on the leaves.

Then I add beads or other embelishments to the picture to give a unique take on the piece.

Every piece is different and I decorate it as the mood takes me, or the beads that I have available.

When I am finally happy with the piece, the xuan paper is stuck to a small canvas and a coating of resin is applied. This magically enhances the colours and fixes the beads securely in place.
