Like the style her Dawn and the rich foreground colours. The mediums you have used are very effective here.

Thanks, Carole. It's the first time I have used the gold on black. It looks really shiny in real life.

A lovely idea of using gold gesso, I m sure it reflects much more than a photo. It's nice to paint places with memories.

Yes, Lesley. It gives s luminescence, which I thought suited reflecting on the past.

This was from my own ref photo taken on a dog walk with my dad. It's an area I used to play in as a child, by the canal, looking back towards the mills of my hometown, Leigh. Watercolour and inktense on black paper painted with gold gesso.

About the Artist

Dawn Halliwell

I started painting in Jan 2016 after the death of my youngest sister. I found it great therapy and still do! I love experimenting with different techniques and media. This year, I have set myself a challenge of working on my portrait skills, but I do love to paint animals and landscapes…
