Hand-painted watercolour painting depicting various green tropical leaves in a 'Vintage Look'. Inspired by the tropics, green rainforests, flora and fauna, the painting consists of multiple transparent layers in watercolour. This watercolour painting falls under realistic, illustrative and minimalist painting where the wet on dry watercolour technique has been used in highly transparent paint layers in different shades of green. In this work, you can see the transparency especially in the areas where the leaves overlap. This transparency creates a nice depth effect in the painting. The original painting is hand-painted on 300-gram 100% cotton handmade watercolour paper where the rough fibres of the paper are clearly visible. The texture of this handmade paper is quite rough, which gives the painting a nice 'Vintage Look'. This rough effect is therefore not a digital image processing, but purely the special effect of this handmade water colour paper. 'Tropical leaves' is a modern painting with a fresh look and extremely suitable as wall decoration on Canvas, HD Metal, Garden Canvas, or Xpozer. But also very suitable as a wall-filling Artprint on Seamless Wallpaper or on Art Frame in a bedroom, living room, hotel room, lobby or office space. This work is also very suitable as a Round Print (Wall Circle) on Forex or Wallpaper.
