Olaf paints primarily in oils and acrylic, with a touch of airbrush.
“I paint images that convey an emotional context that is accessible to the viewer. I sometimes like to use expressive and thick impastoed brush strokes, or soft blended strokes, rendering a sense of movement and texture, giving the painting a life of its own. My interpretation of color also sets the dynamic mood and feelings in my paintings. Finally, the tones of my paintings often range from the darkest to the lightest, in an effort to achieve maximum drama. I encourage you to remain teachable throughout your artistic journey – and I look forward to helping you reach your goals through my mentorship group”.
