Original Painting
Entirely Thick Acrylic Paint on 1 inch Cradled Panel
Wired & Ready to Hang
This highly dimensional painting of sculpted pipe corals made entirely out of thick acrylic paint will amaze you that it truly is all unused dried palette paint rolled into a tube to make these appealing sculpture forms in a fine art painting.
A touch of silver adds a shimmering glow of pearl to contrast with a very gritty acrylic painted texture of artistic streaks below the pipe corals, and finished with a protective varnish, by sculpted painting artist and instructor, Ruth Collis.
The beauty of using dried acrylic palette paint is that something cool is made from nothing, the cost of unused paint is saved, it prevents paint from going into landfills or even evaporated paint water is saved from going down the drain and not getting clogged in the pipes, and supports coral reef awareness.
