MIXED MEDIA ART: A Fusion of Colours, Texture, Newspapers, Yarn on Canvas

I am never satisfied with the use of few hues when painting; i love and enjoy variety of hues on my canvas. I believe and feel that the world should see colours through the eyes of a painter, beautiful and sweet colours from the mind of the artist. That is what I did- pouring my heart of colours.

The Impression II, this is the title of the mixed media painting, it is a fusion of newspapers, yarn, acrylic on canvas…….. “In nature light creates the colours. In the picture, colour creates the light” Hans Hofmann.
