Mon modèle a été, comme souvent, Louise Brooks, la célèbre actrice des années 1920, ou "années folles". La photo noir et blanc qui m'a servi de modèle m'a plu par le côté mystérieux de cette belle femme.
Mon tableau est sépia. J'ai utilisé les couleurs suivantes : noir, blanc,ocre et ombre brûlée.

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.
