2022_02_27 … graphite, color polymer lead on paper tagboard- 18” x 24”.

[matt-niebuhr]

… (oil on board - 24” x24” ) so I started out with a plan for something different that didn’t work out - so I decided to just squeegee it (a la Richter sort of ) - anyway it’s just a technique to play with black and yellow which can make an awesome green that really vibrates with cadmium red dragged over … this technique is not anything new - I just really enjoyed playing with thick color and dragging it across the surface - sometimes it’s good to just work with a process…. It’s going to take weeks to dry — #drawingincolor #oilpaintings #sqeegee #justhavingfun #oil #colorvibrations (at West Branch Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiuAXLOTY9/?utm_medium=tumblr
