Acrylic and collage over crackle paste
8x10 canvas board
This is painted from one of the iris in our yard. In the sunlight, this iris is quite vivid; an outstanding color.
Crackle paste was applied to a portion of the board earlier and allowed to dry prior to painting the iris and the background. I then applied acrylic skins over both the iris and the background. I used yellow and gold close to the iris to bring out the purple color. I also decided to cover part of one petal to give it the natural look it has growing in our garden. The brownish leaves are made of rice paper that I laid over rusty objects and covered with white vinegar. When they were dry and I peeled the paper off, the rust came with it. Everything is sealed with several layers of Acrylic Medium.
