Pour la petite histoire, j'ai peint mon tableau en 2 heures, dessin compris ! c'était un exercice de rapidité, dans l'atelier dont je fais partie depuis de nombreuses années. Je l'ai pris comme un défi car je préparais une expo sur le thème Japon et j'ai décidé de choisir une photo de geisha au profil très doux.
Pour le fond, j'ai choisi des couleurs chaudes pour mettre en valeur le kimono bleu.

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.
