"Blurred Lines" - Original Watercolour Painting by Paul Kenton

This is a quick look at "Blurred Lines", a 40" x 28", watercolour and ink painting on thick handmade Indian paper and framed with a deep floating construction. The painting is by UK Cityscape Artist Paul Kenton and available to purchase now from his website: www.paulkenton...
Flowing layers of watercolour form this New York street scene, glowing in reflected light after rainfall. Beneath Manhattan's soaring high buildings, crowds huddle under umbrellas and yellow taxis whizz through the rain-slicked streets. Working with the rough texture of the Indian paper, Paul allows the paint to puddle and disperse to give beautiful blends of colour and soft hazy edges.
This piece is painted onto very thick, handmade Indian paper, with 'torn' edges. Rather than using a more conventional framing method, which is not practical with paper this thick, this piece is framed using a beautiful ‘floating frame' technique, where the artwork is mounted raised away from a backboard, revealing all of those fantastic edges, with the clear acrylic face of the frame being suspended a couple of centimetres above the surface, making for a unique, complete piece of art.
