Oil Paintings
Marietta’s goal in painting is to express emotions with colors, textures and contrasts of form and light. She tries to distill the spirit of a place or a fleeting moment in time, and to capture the essence in oil paint on canvas.
Pastels
Marietta enjoys pastels because the stick pigments allow more of a sketch like quality to the picture plane. It's immediate, no blending, mixing or over glazes. Pastels will often become a preliminary for a larger oil painting, but not always. The only downside is the powdery mess!
