No collaged elements in this piece - simply painted on 140 lb watercolor paper primed with gloss medium. The bole (a terra-cotta adhesive I mix for the gilding) was painted directly onto the paper with a twig and when tacky, I put the 23K gold leaf down. I used another twig to write the calligraphic word "Embrace"in ultramarine blue acrylic paint. Writing in paint with twigs obviously takes more practice than I've had…however, I like it that the word itself is not obvious - I think the viewer gets more involved.
A totally different feel from "My Song" with its collage and dominant reds.
