Papyrus

15th October 2012

My very good friend Gunn Marit recently returned from a holiday in Egypt with a fantastic present for me, – a small roll of exclusive papyrus! 🙂 I have never before had the opportunity to try painting on that, so I found this very exciting!
I have now done some testing, playing around and experimenting with oil paint on this papyrus, and the result so far you can see below here.
You will find both of these paintings in a larger format in the Emotions and Feelings-gallery

It’s always fun to try something new, even though I did have some trouble along the way; I usually paint wet-on-wet, which I couldn’t make work here.
Luckily for me I have a few sheets left, so I’m pretty sure I’ll have more experiments to show you soon
