38 x 28 cm Gouache (Acrylic) treated as watercolour,
particularly in the background.
This has taken me many days and hours & certainly was a
challenge.
In the “distressed” background I adopted a loose approach as
with watercolours, applied masking fluid with a toothbrush, applied several glazes
& sprayed with water trying to emulate tonally and visually the Australian
bush !
