During my training as a graphic designer and illustrator I learned to work on paper and other painting grounds. At that time there were no computers for this purpose.
In professional life then I have become increasingly more involved in using the computer. Now, 40 years later and soon enjoying pension, I feel like returning to the old techniques – drawing and painting on canvas with real colours. The emphasis on traditionel craftsmanship (preparing and painting on canvas) is particularly important to me.
A wooden framework with a mounted canvas. The whole construction protected by a wooden frame. You can understand all the steps, side wards and from behind. You can see the canvas, the primer and the multiple layers of color. And – the wooden picture frame
is an important part of the whole object too. |
