Garden Retreat

"Garden Retreat" 15,5" x 11"- watercolor on paper -NFS

This is an area in my backyard that I look out at from the kitchen window. Gazing upon such a beautiful setting may be the reason why I don't mind washing dishes.

Note: the colors in the painting are much more saturated and brilliant than the photo shows.

ABOUT THE PAINTINGS

Nicole paints many glazes, thin, transparent layers of paint, to create visual depth and rich colors. When painting a portrait, she can use up to 30 of these transparent layers on the face. This is very time consuming but the results are worth it. Her preferred painting surface for acrylics is gessoed wood usually in the form of a 3/16" wood panel. The edges of the wood panel are painted; creating a finished look that is unique and sure to be a conversation piece. Acrylics dry almost instantly and can be shipped the same day. Your purchase will arrive unframed unless specified in the description.
