Color that transforms
Painted dream worlds with marker lines join two attitudes: the flowing quality of color and the set quality of contour. Surrealist mixed media painting with marker is for sale for readers who want pictures that bring mood and detail together.
Flowing gradients in acrylic or watercolor form sky, water or mist, and over them the marker places figures, lines and patterns. That creates scenes that do not add up and therefore stay in memory. Thanks to the combination of marker and brush, quick, almost drawn passages can sit beside calm color fields. That gives the picture an alternation of pace and pause that suits its dream logic well.

How it stands in the room
Surreal painting needs a little distance. A spot you can see from the door gives the picture an entrance. A dark frame heightens depth, a light one makes the picture appear airier.
Before buying
Ask about the ground, whether paper, board or canvas, and about the fixative. Alcohol markers do not always get along with acrylic, so a note on the build-up helps with care.
