DARLA FARNER CREATES EXCITING AND VIBRANT MODERN CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT ART USING A VARIETY OF MATERIAL

ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS
(Custom Framed)

Read some comments from Collectors of Darla's Artwork!

"The artwork I have completed consists of several types of paper layered over hot compressed paper. I use anything I can get my hands on to create my modern abstract paintings. The artwork begins with watercolor, then is layered with gouache, acrylics, etc; until I am completely satisfied. This unique process sometimes takes several days to weeks for completion. It is the most difficult mixed-media to work with, since watercolor spreads and acrylics dry fast. I am unable to duplicate a painting or paint another similar to any (unless I am specifically painting a pair)." This is what makes the original paintings so valuable and unique!
