Blue snake 🐍
I used Canson Heritage Hot Pressed paper for this piece.
I began by creating a base layer with Kissho Gansai paints, then added colour and shimmer using my own handmade metallic paints.
For the finishing touch, I used a Sunago set I purchased from Pigment Tokyo several years ago to apply imitation gold leaf, adding a delicate, sparkling texture to the piece.
I’m especially grateful to PIGMENT TOKYO ピグモントーキョー , as it was through a workshop I attended there last summer that I learned how to make my own watercolour paints. Being able to incorporate paints I made myself into my artwork has made this piece feel even more special to me.
