Originals in this selection, Mixed-media, Expressive and gestural, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Drawing and painting at once
When gestures work with charcoal, chalk, acrylic, and paper, the result is painting with a visible drawing hand. Expressive mixed-media pictures for sale between 1,000 and 2,000 euro are best judged by line work and the mix of materials.
Mixed media allows what a single technique finds hard: charcoal strokes running over wet paint, wax crayon that repels color, ink that seeps into cracks. Used gesturally, pictures arise in which every trace has its own material and yet all together form one movement.

Reading near and far
From afar you see the big gesture, up close the small interventions. Such pictures belong where people pass by and stop, such as a hallway or a stair. A frame with glass protects charcoal and chalk portions from abrasion.
Clarifying durability
Ask about fixative, type of support, and build. Loose pigments and paper parts should be secured. The picture does not belong in damp rooms or direct sun. For orientation, a look at charcoal and chalk in the description is worthwhile.
