Toner painting is an uncommon way of creation. Painters regard pastel painting as a sensory experience. Hundreds of toners are placed on the table, then The painter's hand becomes a brush While The chalk tip can make the person feel the pressure change and the touch of the fingertips to the greatest extent during creation. Draw soft glaze colors or rich thick painted brush strokes.

Outdoor sketching

▲ Sketching by the Sea

 

Jenny lives in a coastal city

So the subject she's expressing has some seawater

After resigning

She immediately set up a home studio

In the living room at home

Jenny owns hundreds of chalks for drawing

I can't believe how she found the color she wanted to use when she painted

 

"I've been going to the sea a lot since I was a child and from my first wave paintings I realized that depicting the sea allows me to bring myself to the sea through each painting. Depicting the sea allows me to live on the beach all year round and refreshes my spirit because whenever I work I meditate and live in scenes on an easel. My creation relies mainly on memory, field trips and thousands of photographs, and soft pastels, a dry medium with reflective, vibrant pigment crystals that create a vivid and bright visual color mix on the frame. I find it perfect for conveying the feeling of light passing through the crests of the waves, as well as almost any other effect.
