Whimsicalwood Hand-crafted Jigsaw puzzles Gallery Page for 'Fish and Plants' Puzzle

The 'Fish and Plants' Puzzle is a 314 piece, hand cut jigsaw puzzle cut from original art work pained on 6.5mm ply.  This puzzle features irregular edges, many drop-out apatures in the midst of the puzzle and 10 figural pieces including the signature piece. Two of the larger figural pieces consist of three individual interlocking pieces.

The stages of producing this puzzle include tracing the original design drawn on paper onto a gesso-primed 6.5mm ply board. The linework in this line and wash painting, has then been 'inked-in with black acrylic ink using a pointed nib dip pen.

Thinned washes of black acrlic ink have then been painted over the line work, to establish tones, shading and modelling of forms. This monochrome grey underpainting, now ready for colouring has then been colourised with subsequent separate transparent layered washes of coloured acrylic ink; burnt sienna, pthalo blue and orange yellow.

Some accent colour of red and green acrylic coloured ink have also been applied prior to final varnishing and cutting.
