specifications
Three Men in a Garden is painted from a refined drawing where shapes and spaces were carefully worked out. The next three pieces are spontaneous drawings in oil pastel that were then painted with gouache. The oil pastel resisted the gouache* allowing the lines to show through the paint.
*Gouache is an opaque watercolor that artists have used for the last twelve centuries.
