Berry Merry is a glorious celebration of colour pencil realism for botanical artwork. It features a range of techniques for creating the background, as well as the berries and the snowflakes.
Brand new for the Hampshire Open Studios, this is my latest work and I am really proud of it. It may be small, but it packs a real punch!!
Berry Merry - Original Artwork
Created in July 2024, in the middle of a heatwave no less!!
Derwent Lightfast pencils on hot pressed watercolour paper.
The artwork is A5 and is modestly framed in a lovely frame, with plenty of room, that suits the art and the seasonal nature of the aesthetic.
I would definitely recommend upgrading at the glass at least to be UV protective and anti-glare (art glass) so that you can enjoy the viewing experience to the best possible level.
The pencils used are all lightfast and will not fade if cared for properly and not put in direct sunlight.
