Warm & Cool Collection

Chalk Pastel Paintings on Paper
4.1 x 5.8 inches
2021

A set of warm and cool paintings, these little beauties were inspired by my ongoing research into body positivity through expression of the feminine nude form.


PROCESS

This medium appears like watercolor as I have “painted” these high quality, artisanal chalk pastels with water after drawing them onto the paper.

 

MATERIALS

These chalks were a gift from my mom on a trip we took to Roussillon in Provence - village known for its ochre color and artisan makers.

The fine art textured, cotton rag, ragged edge paper is hand made in India and comes through the Royal Academy of Art, London.


Upcoming Art

In honor of my favorite season, I have a new set of Halloween inspired paintings which I will be launching this Halloween Day. Here’s a sneak peak at these paintings on antique book pages from Henry Fielding’s works.
