Bold Beauty is a watercolour and ink painting of the beautiful Rose Mallee with its beautiful large flowers and growing on vertical stems filled with thick leaves.
Imagined shades of green are added in areas while some maintain the whitish green of the original plant. The bold pink stamen are filled with washes of pink and yellow with intricate linework.
The image is broken down into sections as if it were stained glass. Some of these areas are made separate from their neighbours with extra colour washes and tones.
Painted on 300gsm cotton rag watercolour paper with archival quality ink and watercolours.
