Self isolation has allowed me to create some new work I’ve been meaning to do for a while! I have wanted to paint a little mural in my studio for months, and I finally got around to doing it. It’s inspired by the vibrant greens and yellows of the Wood Warbler bird. Wood Warblers forage high in tree canopies, often hidden by the foliage, and can be seen in most parts of the UK. I used Molotow acrylic paints for this piece, they were lovely to use and I would definitely recommend them. The paints are nice and opaque, making it easy to add layers of detail on top, and works well for adding lighter details on top of darker layers of paint. I love the raw edging of the sliced oak, which I thought would make a nice shelf and work with the mural. Perfect for displaying some of my nic nacs!
