About this artwork
Soft and gentle but sensual. Large painting in different hues of grey. Painted with even thinner layers I tried to preserve a kind of lightnes
The paints I use are mostly acrylic and have an outstanding quality; they have a very high concentration of pigments so the color intensity of oil is equaled. They also do not dry darker as normal quality do, nor do they lose volume and you can see the immediate effect of the paint color while painting. The… beautiful hue of color tones such as in oil is in the same range. And why my choice of acrylic instead of oil? I use combined painting techniques; oil, used in thick layers of paint as I apply them, would take about one year of drying. That simply does not fit my dynamic way of painting. With this medium I can reach the sphere which is so striking in my paintings: the visible difference between opaque and many transparant layers and use of smooth transitions between the layers of paint and the somewhat rugged strokes of the palette knife.

« I dream, read, hear, think, feel, see... then I start painting. »
Van Doornum is a dedicated Dutch artist who has enjoyed a decade of regular exhibition participation throughout both the Netherlands and USA. Considering her primary artistic endeavor as the act of painting 'the landscape of women,' she works off real-life references to exalt and capture the forms, thoughts and beauty of the feminine.
