Gouache is a technique of painting with opaque watercolour. It has a special place within the jewellery industry as it has been used for centuries by jewellery designers where the traditional artistry and fine jewellery design meet. Also known as ‘rendering,’ this art form reflects the artistic vision of a designer and serves as a guideline for the craftsmen who physically create the jewels.
In 2020, I started to create jewel-like illustrations. One painting translating one feeling or emotion, traveling through this year and its lockdowns one picture at a time… Treating each illustration like a potential jewel, I have been learning how to reproduce new materials and gemstones in each new miniature painting with gouache and the thinnest brushes. Each illustration comes alive in a 20sec animation and inspires “Imaginarium Atelier" jewellery designs. https://www.youtube.com/playlist
