[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 139185, member: 60"]That could be a mixed media piece. It almost looks like part of it was silk screened. The artist could have painted on a silk screened background or the reverse where a transparent color is screened over a painting or a combination of both. Another possibility is the mono printing process. The artist paints on a piece of metal/glass, places the paper on top and runs it through the press. Usually, only once but the same paper can be used again to add other elements. The trick is to line up the paper. Along the edge on the lower left corner of your close-up photograph, you can see where a layer was added that didn't go to the edge, the edge is darker. It looks like the top layer added is very transparent wash/layer. I also see a line on the right side running through where the orange was not completely covered with the transparent top layer. Mixed media can be any combination of things, painting, printing, screening, pencil, pastel and collage or all of the above.
