playground 1 Drawing by catharina brouwer

Drawing: Conte, Pastel, Ink, Pencil on Paper.

This drawing on large format I made on thick brown paper. I was inspired by the photographs by Cas Oorthuis, a Dutch photographer, and others. He shows children playing in the 1960s and earlier. It brings back memories of the time I played, there was worry-free outdoor space and it was also the time before the digital world. This work is one of a series, all playing children. I use pastel chalk, crayon, pastel crayon. Related to the vulnerability I send it not framed. It will have to be framed in a deepened list so that it do not work against the glass.
