Spring on the calendar so I'm going to the Rose Garden
Once again, thanks to Papier Artystyczny, I had the pleasure of creating something completely new, which I have never tried. The PALAZZO "Rose Garden" watercolor paper is characterized by high-quality, premium-class paper with a unique surface texture. It has a stamping on one side and a smooth surface on the other. Delicate roughness and repeating pattern make the texture imitate the surface of an oil painting after drying. Paper from the "rose" series perfectly absorbs water and keeps the pigment on the surface very well. This can be seen in my Gold Vibrant watercolor illustration. I painted the background using the wet in wet technique, the colors did not fade after the paint dried, the pigments blended perfectly. The detail, i.e. the magnolia, was painted using the wet on dry technique. The effect is also very satisfactory. As can be seen in the example of the presented work, the Palazzo paper from the rose series is suitable for any watercolor technique, but not only. On the edge I applied golden ink, which looks great on the structure of the canvas. This paper gives each piece a style, a hint of classicism and a lot of elegance. The paper has a grammage of 200 and a beautiful ivory color. Thanks to the clear structure imitating linen, the works look very noble.
In another work, also made on Palazzo paper from the rose series, I decided to refer more to the feelings and emotions of the recipient. In work titled Sunrise, I focused on minimalism and modernism. The work is done entirely with archival ink in gold and black. I like the painting very much as it takes me where I cannot be in the pandemic time. Read my story about sunrise.
Sunrise
Do you remember the feeling of watching a sunrise? You rid yourself of any distractions and feel higher levels of satisfaction and gratitude for what's happening in front of you.The sun blooms on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. It is the brilliant flower of the sky that warms our days. It is the invitation to a new day, that sunrise so ordinary extraordinary. If you contemplate the moment deeply you can hear the music of our mother nature. If you are a good observer you may notice ballerinas dancing. While they are dancing, they are telling a story of hope, new beginning and delicacy.
Sunrise is an awakening of the planet, birds, trees, and wildlife. It is always a new beginning. If you are romantic, witnessing this beautiful daybreak can bring joy into your mundane life.
Sunrise is a symbol of birth and rebirth, of awakening. It is sunrise therapy, therapy of light. Sun-gazing is an old method of healing. Our ancestors worshiped the sun for many reasons. I also adore and worship sun. I cannot live and create without it. Sun is the source of eternal happiness.

Of course, once again the Palazzo paper from the rose series is double-sided - embossed on one side and smooth on the other, it imitates the technique of oil painting, allows you to present the structure in the picture, which is its greatest asset. The paper is acid-free, thanks to which the work done remains in good condition for a long time, which is extremely important for both the artist and the art buyer. The paper is made of 100% cellulose. I would like to emphasize once again the uniqueness of the Palazzo paper from the rose series. I do not know any other paper with such a noble canvas structure in a dignified ivory color, which is a perfect solution both for people who love the classics and want to get the effect of oil painting, but also for people who opt for modern art. I believe that the Palazzo Rose Garden paper allows every artist to let their imagination run wild and gives each work a unique character.
The paper comes in a variety of formats: "Rose Garden" blocks Format A2, A3, A4, A5 200 gsm, canvas structure, ivory color.
