Mon petit Limoges (2020) Digital Arts by Mc Toulouse

Born in the Limousin, in a beautiful region of France where the trees, the lakes, offer a magnificent setting in which to set up your easel, two amateur painter grandfathers who passed on to me the taste for painting at a very young age, I offer to share here these some paintings to show you my little current pictorial panorama.

I worked on sketching at the School of Fine Arts in La Roche sur Yon (Vendée).

I followed watercolor courses with Alain MARC, an eminent watercolor painter, sketchbook artist, plastic artist from Ruthen, tireless "traveler-researcher", who produces magnificent travel diaries.

I practice several pictorial techniques: ink, gouache, oil, watercolor but also pastel; this material, very pleasant to work with, gives me the impression of “sculpting” my subject.

Animal painting has long been one of my favorite themes, especially dogs and horses, but I refuse to stay in the same register and am interested in any type of subject, figurative or abstract. For the past few months, and no doubt due to confinement, my gaze has been turning towards trees, scenes of life, and I have devoted myself to several pictorial techniques not wanting to enter any fixed register. Just like life, which surprises us at every moment with its winding meanders and crossroads, I cannot imagine restricting myself to a single interpretation, or a single technique. I let myself be captured by the emotion that animates the object or the being on which I look, and which reveals its singularity.

I reveal to you here my approach and all my delicious and jubilant hours devoted to tracing on paper sketches and paintings that make sense to me.

I wish to share with you my joy of painting and hope that you will show an interest in my paintings.
