Pipe Coral Abstract sculptural painting by Ruth Collis

It was Ruth Collis' inspiration to make a painting where zebra stripes would come to life and raise up over an inch high off the canvas surface.

 

Many months of hurdling through challenges, surfaced this highly sculpted zebra painting made entirely out of thick paint and formed by a custom cake decorating tip for a tool to make this one-of-a-kind luxury painting.

 

There are silver shadows to add further dimension under the stripes that were a challenge to photograph, that are seen more in the close up photos. Canvas is still painted white to protect the painting more and entire painting is varnished.

It takes a week to make one painting, so order yours now ahead of the holidays, birthdays, and gift giving to surprise someone with the most awesome, trendy, and highly coveted painting of dimension to burst the scenes from what the world has never seen possible from thick acrylic paint before. Three are currently available. Each are unique in some way. The Buy Button is currently set for you to order more. This painting is a very hot and edgy design.

Goal:

Get the stripes to be 3D and wrap around the canvas edges.

 

Challenges to Overcome:

  • Create a tool design that will hold the paint up & not fall over

  • Use thick enough paint that will not fall over

  • Use durable enough paint that will not chip apart in just handling

  • Create the stripes with the least air bubbles

  • Hold a giant bag of almost a gallon of heavy paint in hands

  • Create the stripes with the least lines or grooves in the paint

  • Create the stripes with the least ripply jagged base

  • Create the stripes in the longest strips without separating into 2 smaller strips

  • Make the design wrap around the canvas edges to show the coolness of its dimension

  • Dry in another room that won't break hallway plates on the wall in transporting

  • Do all this in a confining space & without hitting head on overhead lighting

  • Set up camera angles that will show all the makings of this

  • Find a way to edit footage for sales page

  • Find a way to brace the painting front & sides for the people with professional wiring services

  • Find a way to pad it for shipping that won't injure the paint

  • Find a classy background and color that will make the painting stand out in presenting it

  • Find a way to make the painting stand up for presenting & photographing but without damaging the bottom stripe

  • Appeal to Collectors that would appreciate this hot design & process
