Croquis Samzun 1 (2009) Painting by Jean-François Groisy

Along with my work as an Architect which is quite restrictive although creative, I felt the need to sketch and paint.

I really like to work on the spot.

I sit on a bench or on a low wall and then I make sketches in watercolor or in Indian ink.

I also like to put the easel at events markets such as the flea market in Vieille-Eglise, the painters' festival in Dampierre and Rambouillet and also in Brittany on the Quiberon peninsula and its surroundings.

I then work in gouache spontaneously and fast.

You will find these works by visiting the various galleries that I have classified by city or theme.

I also paint in the studio using acrylic paint.

Among other things, I work on the theme of the forest, still lifes and I also like to sometimes go towards less figurative things and towards abstraction.

While respecting the principles of composition, contrast, search for light, I try to give my work an instinctive aspect hoping above all to surprise me.

You will find these works, among others, in the "forest of Rambouillet" "still lifes" and "compositions" galleries.
