Nelson Winery ( commissioned work)
Nelson winery is a commissioned piece and not for sale. The general cost of a commissioned work is $2,500.00.
Commissioned art is like story-telling with paint. You tell me your idea , we chat it through, and I complete some sketches on site. I work from my live drawings not from photographs.
Once we land on a design you love, I transfer it onto a beautiful heavy weight paper and bring it to life with my favourite quality paints. Think of it as your dream image, but hand - crafted and extra gorgeous.
There is something about art that transforms a space in the most delicious way. That perfect layer that adds exactly what you're craving for.
Because art isn't just about filling walls, it's about creating those pause-and-smile moments, those catch-your-breath spots that make your home uniquely yours. It's the layer that tells your story, adds your character and holds your heart.
My original work begins from a live sketch and is then transfered on to a piece of Saunders Waterford cold pressed 100% cotton paper 640gsm/300lb. Which is a very heavy grade of top quality paper that really lasts and looks beautiful under the layer of gouache paint. I love paper and pay alot of attention to this component of my work.
The paint is Windsor & Newton quality gouache, an opaque version of watercolour paint that creates soft yet vivid tones. The paper size is 76cm x 56cm.
