  • Thank you! It comes out better than I expected 😄. For the lines, I applied acrylic paint from top to bottom using a notched palette knife. For the group of two figures on the right edge, I used a regular palette knife. For the splashes of color, I partially covered the painting and carefully sprayed it with paint. This made the painting wavy. It probably depends on the paper, but you can easily smooth it out again after drying by lightly dampening the back of the painting with water from a spray bottle and then weighting it down between sheets of newspaper and some books to dry again. Afterward, I traced the shapes with oil pastels. Finally, I applied a coat of varnish to seal it.

    I like how the title “Do you play with matches” also contains a wordplay. The first obvious thing that comes to mind is, of course, Tinder and matches. But also “burnout” in reference to the burnt matches. Was that your intention with this piece? It doesn’t have to be, of course 😉. That’s what art is for, and luckily, art is free. But as you can see, you’ve already made me think. So your work has already had an effect. A great piece.









  • Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂. For my first attempt with ink wash, it turned out better than I expected. I simply hadn’t had the “courage” before to generously apply the ink and just give it a try. But these are precisely the moments that remind me of the carefree nature of childlike creativity. Just do it and trust the process! 😄
