Free flowing watercolour sketch of a parrot done without preliminary drawing on watercolour paper.

So cute !
Watercolour and gouache portraits on a unified background. I like to use different subjects to paint and make them appear on a double page as a whole. I try to incorporate elements of design to give a sense of balance to the recto/verso spread of my watercolour sketchbook.
Summer holidays
Sketched rabbit onto a prepared background and a bit of collage …The long Summer holidays have started for the French kids. Parents know only too well that inevitable expression “I am bored” but in fact boredom enhances creativity so it is not all that negative !
It is time for children to run around (preferably not at home) but in fields or parks or gardens instead of staying in front of a computer or TV….
Watercolour Brush and bottle
This painting was the result of a watercolour challenge proposed by Cathie Van Der Stel from the Hangar Art Centre . You can find the original photograph and the different interpretation on the French Riviera Art Facebook page.
Transparency and water movement are always tricky and I decided to tackle both without the help of masking fluid to reserve the whites : the technique consists of leaving the white from the paper and paint around it.
