Item Description
Title: On A Coastal Breeze
Artist Inspiration: Damien Hirst, 1965-, England
Description: Damien Hirst, a well known, prolific and successful English artist, has created several works of art featuring butterfly wings. One of his murals is on display at the Rancho Valencia Hotel in Rancho Santa Fe. Our goal as a class was to capture the beauty of Hirst’s colorful butterfly murals, while creating a dreamy, whimsical piece. We scrapped Hirst’s symmetrical patterns and instead scattered the butterflies as though floating on a Southern California breeze. The students enjoyed learning about this very eccentric artist and using his stunning murals as inspiration. Each student created four unique butterflies – each and every one was used in the piece.
Medium: Watercolor and permanent marker on watercolor paper applied to white canvas
Dimensions: Three individual canvases measuring 18” wide x 36” high each. Overall dimension 54” wide x 36” high
*A special 'thanks' to Jen Styn & Mercedes Evans for her help on this project.
