Watercolours

“I make many small sketches, diaries, so to speak. Notes put down spontaneously. My watercolours too, are more like transient ideas, impressions, things I observe.

I notice, for example, how the light falls on the trees – and the hills beyond. I see the landscape from above and beneath; I see it rising to the sky, or I look down at it. I almost organise my eye – get used to looking at an object from several angles – to be able to perceive the various ways a tree appears in space or all the ways a human being appears in space. I keep it in my mind, like something I’m used to seeing, and take it out when I need it.” 

Frans Widerberg, 1989
