Leopard Cub Metal Drawing Study

Leopard Cub Study

Acid Patina on Steel

2017

Leopard Cub Study is an original Metal Drawing by artist Jen Lipski. This original artwork was created by painting onto a sheet of steel with repeating layers of acid. The clear acid is applied to the metal, rapidly oxidizing the steel and causing it to darken in colour before being quickly washed away to control the effect. You can see an example of this unusual technique here. This artwork includes a rustic wooden frame securely mounted to the work and is ready to hang. Due to the highly reflective nature of the steel, the appearance of this artwork varies greatly under different lighting conditions!
