A cluster of acorns, with their rough caps and perfect shapes, is the protagonist of this scene.
The composition is an explosion of warm, deep tones: Earth Brown, Burnt Sienna, Ochre and a touch of enduring Moss Green.
The background, rendered with fluid washes, suggests the golden light and fog typical of an autumn afternoon, focusing attention on the detail of the acorns and their veins.
The work is embellished with a rich, grainy texture (obtained with the use of granulating pigments) which makes the acorn caps incredibly realistic and tactile.
This contrast between the solid detail of the acorns and the fluid softness of the background creates a sense of balance and nostalgia.
Your space will gain in warmth, authenticity, and a welcoming atmosphere, thanks to the clever use of earthy tones.
This work was created entirely by hand, celebrating the magic of watercolor and its ability to render the texture of nature in its most mature form.
