Able Quote by John Van Hamersveld

“In teaching color, you teach people how to look something and see the tone in it and break it down to be able to paint it and reproduce that color. But then, I'm psychedelic, so I look at color differently. I like colors that are in contrast with one another, so that they flicker back and forth.” quote by John Van Hamersveld — Download Open image
