Kimberly Hoechst
I work primarily in oils because I love the vibrancy, malleability and durability of this medium. I vary my results by working on a variety of surfaces, using linen, wood panels and often copper panels to achieve strong vibrancy in my colors. My process involves direct painting done in multiple sessions. I'm inspired by the looseness and freshness achieved in the first pass, but then return to develop more depth and subtle nuances in the painting. Over time I refine the shadows with transparent pigments, strengthen the brightness of the light areas with vibrant opaques, and enhance the overall paint quality by building up the surface.
