Hallo!
Ich habe Ihnen vor 2 – 3 Monaten schon mal geschrieben, weil ich mich so freute, dass Sie in "Palette und Zeichenstift" einen Technikkurs veröffentlichen werden (ich abonniere die Zeitschrift). Der kam ja dann aber nicht.
Ich wollte Ihnen nur sagen, dass Ihr offener, klarer Schreibstil dort sehr positiv aufgefallen wäre. Obwohl ich die Palette gerne erhalte, sind manche Artikel so geschrieben, dass man fast die Lust an der Kunst verlieren könnte.
Dieses Mal war es fast ärgerlich…
Auf Ihre newsletter freue ich mich immer whole-heartedly.
Mit den besten Grüßen,
Karin Goeppert

About me

I am fascinated by the light conditions of the countryside, particularly in Northern Germany. I grew up in Hamburg so I am used to the rugged countryside and sometimes bleak weather and light conditions. The light in northern country landscapes is very special and it is indescribably beautiful. It touches my soul and opens up my heart when I visit the coast and feel the elemental force of the sea.
As opposed to my seascapes, I am very interested in the closely cropped views of the harbor and its endless diversity of shapes and colors.

With pastel painting l have found the ideal medium to artistically and creatively transform these special conditions of illumination. I love to spread pigment on paper without anything else in between.
Pastel paintings come alive when you put different layers of colour on the canvas. This is a great artistic stimulus for me. Which combination of colour pigments can be used to achieve precisely the effect of light and shade that I want? During the artistic process, layers of colour are continually built up and removed until the light situation has been captured and the picture can unfold its unique illuminating power.
