The Process
The under painting is abstract shapes in watercolor on cold press watercolor board. I glued aluminum foil into the shape of a scroll. I crunched it and melded it into various shapes; being very careful to leave the hole in the middle looking through to the original watercolor
under painting. After it dried, I layered various yellow reds, and orange and burnt umber for the darks acrylic paint. I added modeling paste to make transition from foil to paper with a palette knife. Then painted
warm colors to denote gold leaf effect.I love this piece because it is an opaque scroll against the transparent
watercolor under painting. If you looked at my previous painting, you will see my same shapes repeated; the archways, the circles and rectangles.I burnished the foil with ochers, raw sienna and quinacridone burnt
orange and gold. I used browns and brought blues over some of thegold to give a metal greenish look.
