Sketch – Consolidiation – Development of Images through the Interplace between Imagination and Visual Means
Oil pastel chalks offer an ideal opportunity to work very spontaneously wherever you are in a relatively small format, but still with the entire repertoire. In their malleability and bodilyness, good oil pastel chalks are similar to the oil colours, but they can be handled more directly. The immediate haptic contact with colour substance and painting ground, which results from the – to a large extent – disappearance of the link between the hand and colour material (brush etc.) promotes sensitivity and intensity. The course deals with various approaches, from quick, spontaneous sketching, the condensation of images to painting, which evolves from the process of imagination and the tension between one’s own will for expression and the demands of the image itself.
