Picture: Landscape with Tamarit Castle, Tarragona, Ramon Casas Carbo, copy

On clear days, built on the edge of a low cliff, the castle looks peaceful, it is quietly caressed by the incoming waves, the sunlight warms the old stones of the fortress wall and tower, the bell of the church interrupts the sound of the surf. And in a storm, Tamarit, like a lone warrior, bravely endures the blows of the waves, protecting the land from the violent elements.
The original painting was painted by Ramon Casas Carbo in 1898 (oil on canvas, Art Nouveau style)
The copy in my performance was created with pastel pencils based on a sketch in colored ink. Halftone colors change depending on lighting. Pastel is on the borderline between painting and drawing and requires very good lighting. Then the infinity of shades appears, the game of translucent layering.
