Lilac Forest is in celebration of spring. This forest is ablaze with lilac, pinks, whites and purples. The background is done with irridescent paints in pinks, purples and lilacs. The sand was mixed into the paint to give a soft glow to the background. The trees are heavily textured and were painted with a palette knife. This 9 x 12 painting is done on amazing Yupo paper. This painting is painted on YUPO. Painted with a palette knife with heavy texture. The gallery quality acrylic paint I use floats on top of the paper and are not absorbed into it. The colors are amazingly vibrant and since I use lots of texture, have a 3D appearance. YUPO is resistant to creasing, tearing or warping in anyway. It will always lay perfectly flat. This painting is ready to frame although the frame is NOT included. No need to use a mat or glass.
