Info artist.
"I don't have a plan when I start to paint. I have a feeling and then I
select my colours.
During the proces of painting I am looking what is happening on the
canvas / paper.
There must be some harmony in forms and colours.
Maybe you see landscapes or villages, figures, angels or other flying
beings.
Sometimes my work is called "lyrical abstract" because of the
color harmony in the abstract paintings.
But looking at my paintings you can make your own world."
Techniques.
Acrylic op panel, canvas and paper.
Wax on paper: the so called encaustic technique means that warm
colour-pigmented wax is painted on wood or paper. This is a very
ancient technique.
Self-dipt paper is sometimes used as sub-soil before painting: it will
give a certain relief to the works.
Mixed media: acrylic, pastel, photography etc.
Education.
In the sixties and the early seventies Els Eckhardt received painting
lessons from Johan
van Zweden (Arnhem) and Gaby Bovelander (Apeldoorn) (The Netherlands).
After that she developed her own style of painting.
At the moment she lives and works in the Frisian Noordwolde (The
Netherlands).
