In 2020 I started to turn my drawings into jewel-like miniature illustrations. One painting translating one feeling or emotion, travelling through the year 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 painting, using gouache and the thinnest brushes.
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.
