Pastels
"I paint using a wet pastel medium by building layers: adding, removing, dissolving and glazing areas of the painting until the result envisioned in achieved."

William Markwardt Bio
"I paint using a wet pastel medium by building layers: adding, removing, dissolving and glazing areas of the painting until the result envisioned is achieved. Often the final piece changes as the layers appear organically. The end result is intended to express a feeling of something familiar and beautiful."
"My paintings are imaginary landscapes that emerge from memories and images of Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Often these images take shape as I'm painting and can change based on the process itself. I will sometimes start a painting without an idea of what the final result will look like and let these memories and images takeover. The process I use can contribute to what memories and images appear."
