Colourful Caprice 3

This is a Colourful Caprice made to drive away grey days and bring warmth and vigour into your life. It’s a vibrant and powerful abstract expression, based on strong reds.
The slow process of shaping layer upon layer of pastel chalk suits my working mode well. It challenges me to be selective and deliberate in how I build up the compositions and ensure that the colors remain the central focus of each artwork. The colors are the starting point, I start by choosing colors that inspire and are interesting. I like the feel of the dusty pigments and use my hands and fingers to rub the colors into the paper, to mix and shape. In addition, I sometimes use an eraser, sandpaper or foam rubber to change or add effects. The gradual process of creating depth and modeling the colors, adding and subtracting, lasts until the vision is captured on paper
