Cette geisha nous tourne le dos : elle se maquille devant un miroir. Le maquillage blanc du visage est déjà effectué et on la voit peindre sa bouche en rouge au pinceau.
J'aime travailler le clair obscur et cette femme japonaise est éclairée du côté droit, le gauche et le fond étant dans l'ombre.
Son kimono est rose clair avec des impressions argentées, le col est rouge et blanc et l'obi (la ceinture) jaune.

I think I've always drawn, as far back as I can remember. I like to learn...and preferably alone, by observing, by studying the techniques used by others and above all by experimenting. And I'm passionate about color.
I used gouache in my childhood and adolescence. After ten years without touching a pencil and a brush for lack of time (I worked in a travel agency and I raised my children), I rediscovered art, first pastel, then watercolor which I practiced several hours a day for years. After progressing, I gave watercolor lessons for 8 years.
In the meantime, 27 years ago, I joined an oil painting workshop, then I "drift" towards acrylic a dozen years ago and I decided to devote myself to it because the oil gave me problems of drying and storage. I painted in acrylic on many supports: canvas, wood, papyrus... My favorite themes are: the 1920s, Egypt, the Carnival of Venice, Japan, the sea... I likes to work in color but also in black and white.
These themes can be found in my painting on glass, which I have been practicing for about 7 years. It's a technique that reminds me of the transparency of watercolor.
