To draw, to paint in the forest is to extend the solitude to a whole sheltered, silent space where only the rustle of leaves or a few distant brushstrokes measure the dimension of silence. And there, in the shadow of this vast quietude, to retain the contours of a trunk, to follow the articulation of a branch, to unwind the complex skein of a bush, in order to let us feel beyond the tangle of these forms the mysterious and inhabited depth of the forest.

Here a dry pastel of 36 x 36 cm on a projection of acrylic in the center of a paper of 50 x 50 cm. I wanted to give the sensation of luminosity between the long tapered fingers of the tropical palms.. the dominant red colors to evoke the heat of a tropical forest.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
