Painting - Acrylic & Ink On Shell Rice Paper

Description

I wanted to try my hand at mono-printing so I tried making an abstract landscape in honor of my friend Jacque! She sends me the most gorgeous pictures and I think I'm going to try translating some of them in my style of painting... we'll see. :)


This mixed media painting is made from acrylic and ink on natural Shell Paper (see below).

~Shell Paper is a multi-media paper made with actual shell emulsion, specially designed to accept acrylics, watercolors, inks, pastels, and even oil pastels! The paper comes in colors and natural white; colored papers are made using organic pigments, and natural white adds a beautiful pearlescent effect to transparent washes. Surface is lustrious and semi-absorbant. In fact, *the calcium in the shell coating allows for wet media techniques, making Shell Paper the ideal surface for multimedia expressions* using a wide array of media from crayon and charcoal to fluid acrylics and inks.~
