Blue and gold ocean open cell artwork in progress - Oceanic Elements coastal art

POUR
Australian pigments mixed by hand. I start with the colours of that morning's coast - trench blue, foam white, sand gold - and thin them until they move like water.

GUIDE
Open cell art is unpredictable, but not accidental. A breath, a tilt, a little heat. I coax the cells to hold, keeping the ones that feel like deep water and letting the rest flow.

CURE
Left to cure for 72 hours, then 2 coats of archival UV varnish. This gives that glass-like depth and protects it from yellowing. Wired, signed, ready to hang for decades.
