Dahlia mauve (2020) Painting by Marie-Jeanne Fawer

Self-taught Swiss artist, mum of three, I always loved to create ; younger I tried watercolor painting, color pencils or even markers. It’s in 2018 that I discovered soft pastel that gives all the advantages I was looking for : a dry technique which allows to draw although with small periods of time and offers the possibility of painting to mix, to superpose and to have bright colors. I am now passionate about soft pastel realistic drawing. I use Panpastels, soft pastels and pastelpencils on Pastelmat paper.

I am inspired by nature, animals and all what is around us. I wish to transmit the joy and beauty of nature with colors that touch and warm the heart.

I have now a website and wish to start showing my artwork which is principally about colourful flowers, animals and landscapes of Switzerland where I live.
