Gaston Pavao Drawing / Painting I enjoy putting marks down on canvas, and depending on what material is being used, seeing what images come to mind. I am interested in how different materials inspire different outcomes of the finished painting as well as evoke different emotions. In this series I focused on wax, oil, and some mixed media as my materials. I focused on creating paintings out of beeswax, oil, and some mixed media techniques, while painting abstract figurative subjects that give off a visceral feeling through the texture and colors. In this series I wanted to feel like the material I was using had a sculptural feeling for me…and using wax allows me to build textures quickly without waiting for layers to dry.
