Chapeaux Bas (2020) Painting by Brigitte Charles

Since childhood, I have always loved drawing. During a few years on standby for family and professional reasons, I maintained a passion for everything related to painting and art in general.

Today, I devote myself entirely to my passion. Pastel is my favorite technique. I like to play with color transparency, light, and the "blurred" aspect. I favor the spontaneity of the gesture and the dynamics of the work.
Pastel is a passion that thrills me and a happiness that leaves room for dreams.

I am President of the "Pastel en Côte de Beauté" association. which organizes a Biennial fair in Charente Maritime (17) and Signatory Member of the PSEC (Pastel Society of East Canada).

I participate in numerous regional, national and international fairs of all techniques as well as Pastel fairs where I have obtained numerous prizes and awards:

2024: 3rd prize Open Division - Pastel Society of Nevada (USA) - Red Rock

            PSEC Prize - CANADA

2022: PSA Prize (USA) - Pastel Art Fair in France - GIVERNY

Publications in the magazines: Partique des Arts and Plaisir de Peindre

I organize courses throughout the year and I am a speaker at the Independent University of Vichy (03) where I teach pastel.

My favorite subjects are: water lilies, koi carp, scenes from life, the animal world and hunting, still life, portraits.
