PASTELPAINTINGS, mixed media on paper
Method, washed ink with charcoal and pastel on paper
My Pastelpaintings are a mix of Eastern and Western techniques that yield picturesque effects.This technique features great density of color because it uses pure pigments. In summary, the means I choose are minimal: ink, water, chalk. The combination of this technique and the prepared background results in strong-bodied, colorful pastels with a picturesque effect. Since my time at art school, my affinity is with paper the specific characteristics of paper I cannot translate directly to other materials such as linen.
