La danseuse.jpg (2018) Painting by Monique Delord

Painting or the late passion that became essential to my life!

Professional painter, self-taught in the Bordeaux region.
It is late that I could finally devote myself to this activity for which I quickly became passionate.
Studies in the studio and intensive training courses with internationally renowned painters have enabled me to become a multi-technique painter; mainly, alla prima oil painting with a knife that I love, and watercolor, a more recent practice. I find a similarity in these two techniques by the maturation of the painting beforehand and the speed of execution.
Figurative or abstract ? I like the mixture of the two. I like to let my nervous gestures and the colors placed randomly on my canvas or paper lead me and have fun.
Some of my works have received awards in art shows and some are in private collections in France but also abroad, in the United States, Poland, Russia, Morocco.

Today, I lead oil painting workshops where I share my art with great pleasure.
