A Swallow in Peonies By Jenny Evans

Equal in their magnificence, swallows and peonies are found in British gardens in warm summer months. Here, a lone bird soars over blousy pink blooms.

This original painting is gouache on paper.

I learned how to paint with gouache by following online tutorials and found I really loved the medium. The fun, peppy colours and chalky finish of the paint appeal to my tactile sensibilities as a textile artist.

I enjoy the way that gouache can simplify artwork – my gouache paintings and many of my textile artworks have a similarly naïve feel to them. I found a freedom in the bright sunshine tones of the paint and I really like the upbeat character of these simple yet strong, eye-catching images.
