Petra Spitzer, Heidelberg

Man in dire straits at the seaside. Pretreatment of the canvas surface with white stucco effect paste. Work with blue watercolor paint results in cloudy sky. Metallic paste in silver was used to obtain the translucent impression of the sitting man. Pronounced opacification caused by the use of the thinly flowing watercolor paint on the one hand and the harsh brilliance of the metallic paste on the other hand.
