Using a palette knife and brush, Ksenia Sizaya builds texture in "Nogan" by applying caulk with a palette knife and brush for varying effects. Creating a calm composition inspired by foggy fields, Sizaya then adds misty layers of acrylic paint and charcoal lines. "The neutral tones and minimalist design suggest a contemplative mood, as if capturing a fleeting moment of quiet," the artist explains.
