Some information about my drawing techniques
For my paintings I use exclusively non-aging artist materials of the highest quality.
Monochrome
Charcoal Drawing
Coal is one of the oldest drawing tools in the world, it dates from the 14th demonstrably Century. From this time charcoal drawings have even been preserved. Coal can be used for quick sketches, drawings or detailed portraits. Different pressures leaves gray to black shades on the paper . By fixing the finished works of art blurring is prevented.
Pencil drawing
Graphite pencils are used in different degrees of hardness. This creates grayscale, which give the portrait the necessary plasticity and vividness. For the protection of the finished drawing here a special fixative is used again.

Pastel
Pastel painting
The term pastel is derived from the Italian pasta (dough). The pastel painting is a technique in which pigments in the form of round and square chalks or pastels are used. The adhesion of the pigments on the paper is weak, so pastels are very sensitive to touch. In order to obtain adhesion to the painting surface, therefore, one uses special pastel papers. The colors are applied in dusty layers, often blurred with the fingers or special brushes.

The oil painting is considered to be classic “supreme discipline of art “. The durability and brilliance of the colors is unsurpassed. Oil is defined as a binder, a main component of the oil paint.
