Description
Another NGSD in more of a Klimt style. Not my usual Mucha-style Art Nouveau.I used 2 types of gold leaf on this piece: variegated gold leaf flakes and brush on gold leaf (basically strong smelling, high quality gold paint).
And that gold leaf cost me a pretty penny, so looks like I'm going to have to start using it a lot now.
As can be expected, a scan would not do a shiny picture like this justice. Here's a photo o it: [link]
It didn't show up as well as I intended, but the flower on the bottom right corner is the outline of a hibiscus native to Papua New Guinea.
Media:
-Gouache
-Col-erase pencil
-White acrylic
-Gold leaf flakes
-Gold leaf paint
-India ink
-Metallic green pen
All on a breaking board my Kendo instructor did during a Tae Kwon Do demo.
