A Painting of a Fence Post with Barbed Wire in Gouache
Paint used as a preparatory study for my A-Level art exam at
Barnsley School of Art.
I think the theme was something like Weathering and Decay.
The Barbed Wire Fence Post was at the edge of a field I
used to walk by when delivering daily newspapers.
I remember being quite pleased with the realistic water droplets
on the Fence Post - you can just about see them in the close-up
image. The spiders' webs however look a little crude.
The background is painted with diluted paint in a Watercolour
Technique whilst the Fencepost and Barbed Wire are painted in a more
opaque way.
