Lips

Lips (2014)

Limited Edition of 3

This is a hand painted photograph taken by Shae and printed on Archival Fine Art paper 250 gsm. After she has printed the photograph, she then hand paints the image with lightfast, transparent, brilliant and permanent artist pigment water colors and Watercolor paint. Once the piece is dry she varnishes the print.

The image is then mounted to a wood panel ( a popular painting support since the 14th century) that she has built and painted black with acrylic paint. Both the front and the back of this piece are then finished and coated with multiple layers of epoxy resin.  The Epoxy Resin contains both a UV stabilizer as well as an advanced additive called HALS (hindered amine light stabilizer).
