Little Siren 4
image transfer and acrylics, verdigris on canvas board
11 x 14 inches
2009

This is such an interesting technique-
Start with image transfer with acrylic gel on canvas board. Further embellishment with acrylic paint and then antique copper effects or verdigris. The copper effects never quite turn out the same way twice so there is an element of surprise, something like taking glazed ceramics out of the kiln but without the breakage. The satin gloves add to the costume drama of this theatrical pose.
