by Ren Adams--that's me!
Back is signed, titled, and dated.

I dig Yupo paper. If you're not already a fan, Yupo is a special type of polypropylene sheet which has a velvety finish and a supple, yet strong feel. It doesn't feel quite like any paper you've ever touched (it's satiny and oddly thick).

I used traditional European watercolors on my Yupo ACEO cards, in a figurative style. I worked with color and flow, letting the brush and Yupo dictate the organic nature of each line.

I then applied pen & ink details to the watercolored paper. This profile took on a life of its own and reminds me of my mother, when she's in a pensive, thoughtful mood. Partly sad--but brilliant.


ACEO

ACEO stands for "Art card editions and originals" a special type of collectible art trading card. Artists create small format originals, which makes collecting a wide range of work totally possible and affordable. This is an ORIGINAL work, not a print.
