Le deuxième voilier arrive...à Sahurs

Armada de Rouen en 2008, manifestation qui regroupe les plus beaux, les plus grands voiliers du monde, à Rouen.
Ce jour a lieu leur descente de la Seine vers Le Havre, "la grande parade".
Depuis 7h du matin, je me suis installée, à Sahurs, en face de La Bouille, sur une boucle de la Seine avec mon matériel d'aquarelliste-reporter.
Il est 10h. Se profile un premier voilier puis un second....
En un éclair, je capte avec mon pinceau aquarellé, les grands traits essentiels de certains. Grands traits toniques du sumi-é. Ils vont vite...
Un reportage enthousiasmant qui récompense l'attente durant 3h!

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

La nature est toujours présente depuis mon enfance au bord de la mer.

Aquarelliste-reporter pendant de très nombreuses années, j'avais toujours avec moi, à chaque déplacement, mon matériel sobre et complet d'aquarelliste. Je peignais aussi bien un détail qui m'interpellait, qu'une ambiance.... les crayons aquarelles étaient également bien toujours lovés dans mon sac bandoulière.

J'ai transmis ma manière de faire, de peindre mes aquarelles sur le vif, à des passionnés de mes peintures, de mes carnets de voyage...

La découverte avec passion du grand art du sumi-é m'a portée à suivre les préceptes d'un grand maître sur Lyon, Maître Sun Fa pour qui je garde un grand respect.

Enthousiaste et passionnée, j'ai approfondi ces gestes picturaux. Très vite, lors de mes nombreuses expositions et marchés de la création, j'ai été interpelée pour partager mon savoir : dans des médiathèques, associations, salles d'exposition, chez des particuliers qui se regroupaient...

J'ai pris du recul, un certain envol par rapport aux règles de base: j'ai pris ma liberté.

Adhérente à l'Association Illustrateurs et Photographes de Rhône-Alpes pendant 10 années, en tant que illustratrice, j'ai eu de très belles opportunités de créer des œuvres sur des thèmes proposés pour des expositions collectives : La Malbouffe, Différence-Tolérance, Patrimoine H20....

En 2021, j'ai découvert le sketchnoting et je me régale. Mes deux cerveaux, cerveau gauche et cerveau droit se régalent et se répondent.
