My learning path looks like this; when I decided to concentrate my career with watercolor, I went and got some techniques from a good watercolorist I knew, to clarify some snags I have been experimenting. Then, I concentrated my efforts on learning all the mixtures of color I could produce with my palette by making color charts (like the ones in the section techniques). That learning process printed in my memory wonderfull mixes I could do in transparency and most important, that I could remix on demand. My color choices were well-thought and planned now.
A very important and significant step in creating my own style was when I decided to experiment and create all the grey tones I wished with the primaries, and not the greys in tube that I found dull and opaque. I put many hours in developing my approach with shadows and reflections. I would study very carefully all the fine details of my photographs and discovered all the shades, hues and different textures of greys. I give a lot of place to colored shadows and reflections in my paintings now. It gives me pleasure and challenge to render them originaly and captivating in a composition.

In 1994 I founded my private watercolor school, in the intimacy of my atelier at home, to groups of no more than 4 persons, 3 seasons and intensive in the summer. I live in Sherbrooke, Québec Canada.
