About this piece…
Golden Wattle (Acacia pycantha)
Australia’s Floral Emblem is the Golden wattle ( also known as Mimosa). Native to southeastern Australia, its bright yellow pompom like flowers flower from July through to October and are cross pollinated by birds and native bees.
This one was drawn and painted from the nature reserve that I live next door to.
Process + medium
Before painting, I sketch out the plant from life and take a lot of reference photos for me to use back at my desk.
Using premium grade Chinese ink on paper, I hand grind the ink sticks myself using an ink stone. This traditional method of preparing ink alone can take several minutes and forms the start of my painting process. What I am left with are only the most intense colours and highest quality pigments that I use to build up colour, layer upon layer.
The artwork is then professionally scanned in Melbourne and printed in my home studio using archival inks on acid free Hahnemühle paper.
