Rainbow’s Shoulder emerges as a result of the artist’s exploration into textured, emotive backgrounds. The result deviates from the neutral tones typically seen in her wildlife portfolio. This approach grants the freedom to wield expressive colour, with the striking addition of red dry-brushing at one corner, injecting a sense of drama into the mottled deep-blue wash of the canvas. It lends an air of tension to the work; a hint of what’s either incoming or passing.
In portraying the Badger, the artist used a technique employing white brushstrokes as the foundational layer. Subsequently, she applied a ‘glaze’ of assorted transparent colours to achieve the desired effect. Delighted by the outcome, this technique was used in subsequent works, exemplified by Rainbow Hare #2 & Rainbow Hare #3, showcasing even more vibrant manifestations.
Rainbow’s Shoulder stands as a testament to this experimentation—a successful prototype, if you will. Its inception marks a pivotal moment in the artist’s journey, demonstrating a willingness to explore new techniques and textures. We invite you to delve into its depths and appreciate the fusion of emotion and technique encapsulated within its strokes.
Our Fine-Art Prints come on two kinds of archival paper. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Medium’ size, we use 210GSM Fotospeed Smooth Art; a paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. Because our larger, more prestigious prints need to be more impactful, we use Fotospeed’s 315GSM NST. Thanks to the gentle texture and bright-white base of this 100% cotton, fine art paper, it consequently delivers a wide colour gamut. The Fine Art Trade Guild have also certified these two papers. In conjunction with our pigment-rich inks, we therefore deliver a lifetime’s worth of enjoyment!
