Wedding Bouquet

12 x 12"

oil on gallery wrapped canvas

These dried flowers are from my wedding bouquet. I wanted to preserve them in a beautiful way and this vase worked perfectly. I have recently been working with crackle medium but did this crackle by hand because of the use of oil paints.

In this painting I experimented with crackle medium. I felt that the affect came out just as I wanted it to, charming and aged. It was different to paint the background for the crackle finish and then the actual painting on top but I found the medium to be something that I will use in my future paintings. I have previously "scratched" out by hand the cracks using sharp objects such as paper clips or edging knives. This technique was much easier.
