Untitled No. 2
Each piece begins with an embryonic sketch, created with Crayola markers—chosen for their water-soluble properties. These initial marks, urgent yet intentional, evoke a sense of fragility, much like the ephemeral quality of Michael Krebber's work, as if they might blow away with the wind. Water and brush are then introduced to soften and blend the lines, transforming the sketch into something akin to a watercolor painting.
From there, I layer oil paint, carefully preserving the tonal essence of the original sketch. The oil palette is rich yet balanced, leaning on complementary color schemes to maintain harmony. The finished works are lighthearted, playful, and deliberately noncommittal, capturing a spirit of experimentation and spontaneity
