Ancient Parchment Collection

The Ancient Parchment Collection is a pair of abstract, textured paintings in brown, cream, and gold, created in January 2026.

Samuel used cracking paste and textured paste on canvas to create the 3d background. He then used acrylic paints, which he washed, brushed and flicked on this surface. He finally finished the painting by drawing indecipherable symbols and letters with oil pastels over the top in similar colours.

Samuel named the pair "ancient parchment" as the colour palette, and the subtly drawn oil pastel details reminded him of written scrolls.

Ancient Parchment 1 & 2 measure 30cm x 40cm and are fixed within a black-stained oak frame measuring 33cm × 43cm × 3.5cm.
