Mirrored folk gouache print

A centred heron standing among reeds and water lilies, in a palette of deep plum, ochre, terracotta and cream. Matte gouache folk print built from simplified flat shapes with softly uneven hand-painted edges, fine paper tooth and dry-brush grain. Ornament is repeated in strict mirror symmetry, with leaves, petals, scallops, dots, teardrops, berries and stars packed densely across the whole sheet. Central forms are reduced to bold geometry with decorative fills and fine pale linework for texture. Layered overlapping shapes build a rich ornamented decorative field with a patterned border. Full-bleed opaque artwork filling the whole frame.
