techniques One of these techniques was painting with oil-pastels. This turned out to have a profound impact on my own process. Till now I made a dozen oil-paintings; recently I started decorating diaries with oil-paint - I like doing that! Another technique I like is the so called monoprint; on such a print I draw with coloured pencils. Click on one of the pictures for three fotos showing more details. Sometimes I also use the encaustic art-technique. |

themes Some of the wall-embroideries I made have a symbolic nature, like the chakra-embroideries; others have more natural images. Creating the oil-pastels I worked more intuitively: I let come what emerged at that moment. When I look at a monoprint and I see something in it, the creative process starts. Till now I see and draw many images of women, with or without a child and / or partner. Also angels and hermits, and a lot of trees. Recently I created some landscapes, mostly with one or more figures in it. With the encaustic art-technique you dont have much influence on the result, except of course in choosing the colours, and how you use the iron. You find some examples on Peters CD-page: he used some encaustic-pictures for creating covers and labels for his CDs. New: you can now watch a nice slideshow with the ten CD-covers! |
