Artwork Description:

Title: Rockpool at Low Tide

I created the layers of colour through the use of transparent and opaque paint, playing with expressive mark making to create the textures of the seaweed and sea anemones found in this isolated rockpool at low tide. The complementary colours pink and green work together to create a natural and calming colour palette.
