About the artwork Rubus I

Part of the "Holding on - Letting go" Series.
Watercolor on Kelmscott vellum (mounted on wood).
Vellum is a traditional material made from animal skin, which is prepared by hand in a very slow process to create a beautiful surface for painting.
Every vellum piece has its own pattern and markings, making it unique.
Its transparency gives a special luminosity to the watercolor applied.
Imported from one of the last producers of Vellum, William Cowleys in England, they only uses Animal skins that are left over as a byproduct from the meat and leather industry and would otherwise go to waste.

About the artist Isabel Mischka

Born in 1996 in Austria, Mischka graduated with distinction from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 2019 and received the James & Eve Bennett Trust Fund Award. She is a fellow member of the Society of Botanical Artists, UK.

"Artistically I am often drawn to ordinary plants, trying to capture their subtle and sometimes hidden beauty, which is often overlooked in everyday life. For my paintings I am layering lots of thin, transparent watercolor washes with tiny brushes for maximum detail and radiant colour."
