my latest blocks


I discovered the pleasures of working acrylic paint with a knife. I can pretend to be a sculptor working on clay, or a chef mastering a creamy ganache ! I can create lots of texture with the paint itself, make raw edges or smooth the surface as if it were butter!
Click on each painting below and zoom to see the interesting effects.
