Original painting, signed by Sofia Roe.
 
This painting is produced using an acrylic paint pouring technique. Acrylic paint is combined with a pouring medium, silicone and water. The different paint colours are then poured into each other and dispersed by tilting the painting surface.
 
Once the painting was complete and dried, I sealed the painting with three layers of gloss varnish spray. I used gold to represent my empathy with the natural world, and a stencilling of honeycomb to represent our delicate ecosystems and for its natural splendour, "to build perfect honeycombs is the most wonderful of all known instincts" Charles Darwin.
 
Although this method of painting is fairly technical and a little messy, the results speak for themselves! I only use the best of art materials such as This Little Piggy (TLP) pigments, and DecoArt, Pebeo and Arteza paints; Liquitex and Floetrol pouring mediums; and Liquitex and Pebeo silicone oil.
