            " For color studies, I like to use soft pastel
      and acrylic paint. I like to draw with color.
      I like the freedom of using the marks of the pastels,
      which are sketchy and rhythmic, combined with
      the dabs and slashes of the acrylic. I like the flow
      of chalk and the opaque quality of paint. "
