One day, I discovered my wife's old oil pastel box. It became my favorite for a long time.

First, I preferred nice colors and the corresponding sticks shrank and disappeared.

After that, I often chose colors I didn't like, i.e., I took the longest sticks. What happened?

   

What can ugly colors tell me? Why is the result not always ugly for my eyes?

Sometimes, I obtain ugly pictures. The only way to get rid of them is to cover them with colors.

 

Sometimes, the resulting pictures seem to be more than simply some colors.

 

Sometimes, a landscape or even strange people appear.

 

Since white paper is not inspiring for me, I started using black paper.
