A heron stands in the Dee looking for a meal. Layers of stenciling, stamping and translucent acrylic form the background for the bird painted with Inktense pencils. Herons are such large birds when seen in flight but when the stand they seem to shrink into themselves and disappear amongst the shadows of the water’s edges.
My process for this piece was to start the canvas with expressive strokes of acrylic paint and add in drips of fluid acrylic. Over this I sprayed through stencils and lace and then used a mask to protect the area for the bird whilst adding translucent layers of acrylic in an impasto way that gives the piece a lot of textural interest. I used matt acrylic to prepare the canvas for the Inktense pencil work which I layered to build up the painting of this original heron art.
